Problem installing patterns & practices SharePoint Guidance

Question

I'm having trouble setting up the Partner Portal. I got a System.NotImplementedException when I ran the setup script. Can someone shine some light on this?

I am running VSeWSS using the local machine administrator account.

Answer 1

Did you check the system requirements which are listed in the readme.txt delivered in the spg? I've got the same error. It was fixed by installing: Windows SharePoint Services 3.0: Software Development Kit (SDK) Also check the version of the Silverlight SDK. Should be 2 and not 3 !

Kind regards, Andre

We had a similar problem. In our case it was due to a different version of VSeWSS being used to create the project than was currently installed on the machine.
