I set up a machine with the RTM of VS 2008 on it. Then I installed my product (Visual RPG). I created a WebSite via the File | New | Create WebSite dialog and set the language to Visual RPG and it worked just fine. Then I installed the VS 2008 SP beta and tried to do the same thing. Now, Visual RPG was not an option in the language drop down.

As a side note, I was able to open, run, and debug the website that I created in VS 2008 RTM with the SP installed.

1. Install Visual RPG on a machine with VS 2008 RTM.
2. View the File | New | WebSite dialog and noticed that Visual RPG is listed.
3. Install the Service Pack beta.
4. View the File | New | Website dialog again and notice that Visual RPG is now missing from the list of languages.

Visual RPG was not listed in the New Website dialog.

Visual RPG should be listed in the New Website dialog.

The issue is fixed in VS 2008 SP1 RTM

We have discovered the problem. When SP1 installs, it inadvertantly removes all the entries under the key [HKLM]\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\9.0\NewProjectTemplates\TemplateDirs\{39c9c826-8ef8-4079-8c95-428f5b1c323f}, before writing the entries for the languages installed by VS. Thus the entries VisualRPG writes to this location are removed. A work around for your customers until the final SP1 build is available is to manually add these values back (you could create a .reg file with the appropriate settings). I verified that this work around works.

Thanks for reporting this issue.
