How to get Windows Workflow templates in Visual Studio 2008?

Question

I'm working through the book Pro WF Windows Workflow in .NET 3.5 and on page 5 it shows them opening a new project in Visual Studio 2008, "Visual C#/Workflow" is selected and 8 templates are showing:

• Empty Workflow Project
• Sequential Workflow Library
• SharePoint 2007 State Machine W...
• State Machine Workflow Library
• Sequential Workflow Console Application
• SharePoint 2007 Sequential Workflow
• State Machine Workflow Console Application
• Workflow Activity Library

However in my (German) Visual Studio 2008, even after installing SP1, under Workflow I just have:

• Sequenzieller SharePoint 2007-Workflow
• SharePoint 2007-Statuscomputerworkflows

and under WCF I found:

• Sequential Workflow Service Library
• State Machine Workflow Service Library

But how do I get the Visual Studio 2008 Workflow templates that are mentioned in the book?

Answer 1

Which version of VS are you using? I'm running VS2008 Team Suite (SP1), and I get all 8 templates mentioned. Perhaps try a re-install on a virtual machine, to see if it was an install failure?
