Problem installing Atlas

I am installing Atlas for the first time. I have both Visual Studio 2003 and 2005 installed. When I try to install Atlas I get this error message

Installation stopped because the directory for the ProjectType value did not exist. The project type is invalid for your installation of Visual Studio.

Is this because I have both Visual Studios installed and can it be remedied short of uninstalling 2003.

Thanks for reporting the issue. We will investigate the problem and post an update when we have more info.

In the meanwhile, can you try the following workaround:
- Launch Atlas setup, uncheck "Install Atlas Visual Studio Project Template" and finish the setup.
- Then go to locate ASPNETAtlas.vsi under your program files path (e.g. C:\Program Files\Microsoft ASP.NET\Atlas\v2.0.50727)
- Double click the ASPNETAtlas.vsi file to launch the Visual Studio Content Installer dialog.
- Find the link above the Publish information area, it is called "View files in Windows Explorer..."
- Click on it to open the content of the vsi in Window Explorer
- If you have Visual C# installed, copy ASPNETAtlasWebApplicationCS.zip to the folder C:\Documents and Settings\<your user id>\My Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Templates\ProjectTemplates\Visual Web Developer\CSharp\
- Respectively, if you have Visual Basic installed, copy ASPNETAtlasWebApplicationVB.zip to C:\Documents and Settings\<your user id>\My Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Templates\ProjectTemplates\Visual Web Developer\VisualBasic\
- Open a new VS 2005, do File->New->Web Site, you should see the Atlas Web Site template under "My Templates" when you choose Language Visual C# or Visual Basic


Perfect. I plopped the zip file into the location of the template directory and Visual Studio 2005 saw it and the template appeared in my templates objects. Thanks
