Visual Studio 2010 and Web Deployment Projects (wdproj 2008)

Question

I have several wdprojects (web deployment 2008) in vs2008 solutions. When I installed vs2010 RC none of my wdprojects will open.

What can I do to make it work?

Solution 1

Visual Studio 2010 Web Deployment Projects RTW is available here: Visual Studio 2010 Web Deployment Projects RTW

Update:

As per this SO question, Visual Studio 2012 does not have Web Deployment Projects.

But it's ok: Visual Studio 2012 Web Deployment Projects are Dead – Long Live Publishing Profiles

Solution 2

According to this post on the ASP.NET forum they will actually provide support for it some time after the release of Visual Studio 2010. But I can confirm that it is not supported out of the box in the Visual Studio 2010 RTM.

Update: 10.0.30319.5 "RTW" (whatever that is) is available here, you I assume you shouldn't use the Beta anymore: microsoft.com/downloads/…
