mvc2

Hi all,

I have installed VWD 2010 Express and love MVC2. I have an existing ASP.NET 3.5 website that I'd like to redevelop with ASP.NET MVC2 under VWD 2008 with the 3.5 framework (the host only supports .Net 3.5, and Express 2010 doesn't support targeting of .Net framework versions)

I am however unable to install MVC2 with VWD 2008. The installer (for 2008 SP1) says it has installed, but the MVC project templates don't show up when I create a new project. I also had this problem originally with MVC1 which is why I gave up at some point and just created it as a normal ASP.NET website.

I tried uninstalling and installing VWD 2008, and then installing MVC2, but this didn't solve the problem.

Does anyone know why this problem occurs, or how to solve it? Or is there a way to add these templates and the tooling manually?
