Has anyone gotten the Smart Client Software Factory to work in Visual Studio 2005?  I keep getting an error with the Recipe Framework:

Error: 0 : Microsoft.Practices.RecipeFramework.ValueProviderException: An exception occurred during the binding of reference or execution of recipe CreateSmartClientFactorySolutionCS. Error was: Failed to load value providers..

You can remove the reference to this recipe through the Guidance Package Manager. ---> System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Practices.RecipeFramework.Common, Version=1.0.60429.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

And then I get this:
LOG: Attempting download of new URL file:///C:/Program Files/Microsoft Visual Studio 8/Common7/IDE/PublicAssemblies/Microsoft.Practices.RecipeFramework.Common.DLL.

WRN: Comparing the assembly name resulted in the mismatch: Minor Version

Any help will be appreciated.

Yes, I've gotten it to work...

There are two versions, one from last Summer and another from this Spring. They use different GAT versions, I think, so that's the first place I would look.

Did you install the Spring version?
It has a 'depedency checker' with the installer that can insure your components are correct (it doesn't differentiate Orcas from VS2005, though, and it doesn't work on Orcas officially yet).

Double check for versions of GAT and other dependencies.

Link to SCSF/CAB forums on Codeplex.

Edit: maybe a reinstall/repair of SCSF would help...?

I installed the spring version.  The dependency checker said everything was fine (all checks).

This is a new machine, so I didn't install any of the older stuff except for Enterprise Library 3.0, which I promptly replaced with 3.1.

I checked the .NET configuration, and there are redirects for the older 1.0.x version to point to the newer 1.2.0.0 version.  But it still doesn't work.

I'll check it at home tonight and see if it's just a machine issue (I might have installed something else on this that's conflicting).
