Create a WSS 3.0 or SharePoint 2007 project using Visual Studio 2010 beta 2

I have installed WSS 3.0 and Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2 on a Windows 2003 x86 VM and I am unable to create a Sharepoint Project. I keep getting the error below.

"A SharePoint server is not installed on this computer. A SharePoint server must be installed to work with SharePoint projects.

I am selecting C# .Net 3.5 as the .Net version and then I am trying to create a Empty SharePoint project. Why do I keep getting the error?

+3 A:

I'm afraid Visual Studio 2010 only supports creating SharePoint project types with SharePoint 2010.

Are you sure? Do you have any references or is this something you have tried yourself?

Yes, I've tried it myself as well as attended SharePoint 2010 Ignite training where they first told me about it. You can of course still develop against previous versions without using the SharePoint project types just like you did with Visual Studio 2008.

Corey is correct. You will only be able to use VS2010 to create workflows for SharePoint 2007. For all other development on SharePoint 2007 you should stick to VS 2005/2008 with WSPbuilder, STSDEV or VS SharePoint Extensions.

WSPBuilder also works with Visual Studio 2010

You should check WSP Builder 2010 beta for some backward compatibility.
