SubSonic 3 installation not working?
Good. I am following the tutorial here as much as possible.
http://subsonicproject.com/docs/Setting_up_SubSonic_3.0
How are the files you upload different from what is shown in the video? So I'm literally just guessing which files to use?
Then I drag and drop files / folders in Visual Studio (as the video shows) and NOTHING happens ?? Does it just add files to my solution? Or add folders to my solution as regular files ... Nothing gets executed as shown in the video ??
I understand that Rob spent a lot of time on this from his own back and I try not to be whimpering women, BUT ... How do we expect to use it if the installation video is completely different from the actual files you download and when you drag and drop files in VS2008, nothing happens - what doesn't look like a video at all? My VS does not recognize TT files as something special ...
I really want to use this new version since I liked v2.1 but I am losing faith
RANT OVER

OK a few places to run:
- You are using Visual Studio Express if unfortunately it doesn't support t4 and therefore won't work with SubSonic 3
- Try right-clicking on the tt files and clicking Run Custom Tool.
- If your project is a website and not a web application project, t4 will not work and you will not see "Run Custom Tool" in the right click menu. In this case, either convert the project or you can use a separate class library project in your solution and add templates to it and then link to it on your website.
- Choose if you want to use Simple, Linq or ActiveRecord templates. Look here to help you choose (you can always change your mind later)
- Watch the video for whatever template you choose, by the way, the related installation video is unfortunately a little outdated and I think the custom templates are much more useful.
