I’ve just set up a new build server with the Windows 2008 .NET 3.5 SDK, and for some reason it hasn’t installed c:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\TextTemplating so I can’t run t4 templates on it. I had a look at the install options in add/remove programs and every single option is checked.
Any ideas why it is missing? Any ideas how to get it back?
The T4 templating engine comes with Visual Studio 2005 SDK or natively with any installation of Visual Studio 2008. I didn’t try the express editions to see if the T4 is present but I strongly recommend that you give it a try.
You can download Visual Studio 2008 Express right here.
