Missing templates after re-installing VS 2008

Question

I installed VS 2008 and I installed .NET 3.5 SP1 and I got all templates.

Then, I had to uninstall VS 2008 (please don't ask why) without uninstalling .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 or anything else.

After that, I re-installed VS 2008 back, then I open up VS 2008 and found that when I add a new item the Entity Framework template is not among the list anymore.

Could someone please help on how to resolve this problem?

Thank you so much!

Ray.

Answer 1

Did you reinstall VS2008 without VS2008 SP1? I believe EF templates were an SP1 feature.

Answer 2

I'm having a similar issue. I am doing a VS 2008 tutorial, and cannot locate my EF template. Looking in the correct place- I believe, but it's just not there...

I am a new developer, and I installed VS 2008 back in April, so I'm not really seasoned on these installations. What is the exact remedy for this problem, and is there any way that I can just download the template I need without having to reinstall vs 2008?

I installed MS VS Team Sys 2008 Development Ed

Thanks
