I am getting an error when installing DevForce 2010 for .NET. After accepting TnC and clicking next I get the message "No registry key found for UserProjectTemplatesLocation". I have tried the suggestions in this post with no luck. Is there anything else to try?

I did search for the registry entry "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0\UserProjectTemplatesLocation" and it does not exist. I have opened VS Web Developer 2010 Express and have started working on a basic web app.

Thanks,
Chris

Do you have a string value in your registry for UserProjectTemplatesLocation in the key located at:
My_Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0?  If not create the string value and give it a value of something like:
%USERPROFILE%\My Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Templates\ProjectTemplates

This example uses XP.  The value for Windows 7 will be a little different.

That got me past that error, so I entered my Product Key and clicked next. It started installing and then got this error:

"Error 1606.Could not access network location USERPROFILE\My Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Templates\ProjectTemplates\Visual C#"

I only need this installed for my user profile on this machine, so I put the specific path in the registry entry and it worked. (C:\Documents and Settings\chunter\My Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Templates\ProjectTemplates\Visual Web Developer)
