Web Test on Windows Server 2008

Pissed by Visual Studio Team System 2008 Test edition not installed properly

So I installed the Visual Studio Team System 2008 Test edition in my VM and found that I got this error when I tried to create a test project:

Cannot find template with id testproject-v1-wordManualTest for cSharp test Project

Luckily I am not the only one who suffer this pain. I found this post that stated a possible solution:


Resolution:
1. Run devenv /resetuserdata in VS.NET command prompt

2. Run devenv /installvstemplates in VS.NET command prompt

Well too bad that I kicked off my repair installation before I saw this. So maybe I'll give it a try if the repair failed.

By the way, this message also mentioned about some fix.

OK, reinstall fixed the problem, but it took almost 2 hours.

Then I got the IE bitch, and I solved it like this.
