I noticed last night that the WCF extensions for Visual Studio 2005 aren't available on their site any longer. I've read that they want people to use Visual Studio 2008 for WCF/WF/WPF.
Have they made an official statement regarding this?
edit:
I already have the CTP3 for VS2005. I want to know what Microsoft's official stance is. Yes, I've read the threads and the blogs. If a blog post is all that is needed to make it official then so be it.
There was never anything but CTP released for MS Visual Studio 2008
According to this thread MS wants you to move to Visual Studio 2008.
This blog post confirms that.
You could still download the CTP3 for Visual Studio 2005 from a third-party server
I faced the same problem... I needed to use WCF from Visual Studio 2005 and when I installed VS2008 the WCF extensions were gone. I googled around a lot and I found a hack to being able of working with WCF in Visual Studio 2005 or 2008.
You have to run the following command from a VS2005 command promtp: *msiexec /i vsextwfx.msi WRC_INSTALLED_OVERRIDE=1*
For a little more info take a look at the post I wrote about it here: http://sgomez.blogspot.com/2008/08/visual-studio-2005-extensions-for-wcf.html
