Try this cookbook on a 64-bit machine that has errors installing RC1:

1.    Find the "UserProjectTemplateLocation" value for the person doing the installation

2.    This can be found in the registry at HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Visual Studio\9.0\UserProjectTemplateLocation

3.    This is almost always %UserProfile%\My Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Projects

4.    Translate this value to a full path - Do not use the enviroment variable In my case it is:

      C:\Documents and Settings\DavidK\My Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Projects

5.    Add a key for HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\IdeaBladev4\TemplateFolderLocation

6.    Set the value of this key to the "UserProjectTemplateLocation" value in step 4 for the person doing the installation

Install RC1

The instructions in the previous post are no longer needed since the installer has been fixed in a special release:
 
You can download the 64-bit compatible version on our website: http://www.ideablade.com/DevForceSilverlight/DevForceSilverlight_DownloadEditions.aspx - http://www.ideablade.com/DevForceSilverlight/DevForceSilverlight_DownloadEditions.aspx
Click on the text link: "Click here for the 64-bit Version" under the big green "Try Now" button.
 
Our next release of DevForce Silverlight in early May will have the 64-bit version incorporated into one installation with
the 32-bit version.

Still getting the same error (network location not found for VB and C# template), so the new 64-bit installer hasn't solved the problem yet. Target is a newer Dell running XP 64-bit SP2 and the very latest VS.NET 2008 Team Enterprise.

The RC1 installer is very consistent. It fails at the same point every time and adds these items to the Windows app events list:

Product: IdeaBlade DevForce -- Error 1606.Could not access network location \Visual Basic.
Product: IdeaBlade DevForce -- Error 1606.Could not access network location \Visual C#.

Did you get this zip file:  DevForceSilverlight-64bit.RC1.zip  ?
 
Have you opened and initialized Visual Studio?
 
If so, what do you have in the registry for:
 
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Visual Studio\9.0\UserProjectTemplateLocation

Yes, I extracted the zip, which created a folder named, "DevForceSilverlight-64bit.RC1" containing this file:

DevForceSilverlight.64bit.RC1.5002.exe 51,700,240 4-01-2009 4:24:18pm

The key that you mention has this value:

%USERPROFILE%\My Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Templates\ProjectTemplates

I previously tried changing %USERPROFILE% to "C:\Documents and Settings\<MyUsername>" as mentioned in another forum post but it didn't help the installer to avoid the error that it keeps getting.

Hello!

Got the same issue on an 32Bit Windows XP.

Resolved it by deleting the whole HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Visual Studio\10.0\ Path.
I didn't install Visual Stuido 2010, but Telerik Open Access created this Path...
