MSCRM 4.0 Workflow Configuration Tool for Visual Studio 2008

The workflow configuration tool is a great tool in the SDK which you build. It creates a couple of assemblies and and nice installer. You then run that and it puts the add-in into visual studio 2005, which I don't use anymore :( So I have updated it for Visual Studio 2008: The changes to do it were:

• Add the missing sdk proxy assembly to the files for the installer.
• Set the directory for the templates to the Visual Studio 2008 one.
• Changed the version of the assembly from 8.0 to 9.0 in the CRMWorkflowAddin.AddIn file.
• Change the title to show it is specially for Visual Studio 2008
• Changed the product ID so that it is not confused with the semi-offical one in the SDK.

You can download the actual installer files here and the updated deployment project file (in case you want to check) here.

Note: This is based on the first public release of the Microsoft CRM 4.0 SDK. If newer versions come out, you maybe better off using those versions. I'll (try) keep this one up to date.

Update 16 Jan 2008: This tool doesn't add the MSCRM workflow actvities which are available. To add those to the tool box see this post.
