There is a downloadable WSS 3.0 dev environment VM here: http://www.microsoft.com/Downloads/details.aspx?familyid=1BEEAC6F-2EA1-4769-9948-74A74BD604FA&displaylang=en.
Note: it is WSS not MOSS It has Visual Studio 2005, not 2008 on it. This may be a good starting point for you. From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Paul Noone Sent: Tuesday, 29 July 2008 3:17 PM To: listserver@ozMOSS.com Subject: [OzMOSS] Developing for MOSS/WSS with VS2008 Hi all, I have yet another potentially embarrassing question. I've recently installed VS2008 on my local XP machine as a precursor to getting my hands dirty with some custom workflow activities and looking at what the VSeWSS 1.2 tools can do. And, well, ahem...it appears that remote connection to a MOSS server are not sufficient for the task. Short of wiping my current box, installing Windows Server 2003, MOSS2007 and WSS3, I'd prefer to explore other possible solutions. What are other people doing for local dev? And if the resounding response is a VM, would someone mind outlining the requirements for one? And one more silly question (while I'm on a roll), can you wrap up SPD developed workflows with the SSG and: a) redevelop them in VS, b) deploy them to other sites and collections? As ever, all replies are gratefully received.
