Hi,
could anyone tell me what I need to start using Avalon I have XP with VS 2005 Beta2 installed. Do I then just need the 'Indigo and Avalon Beta1 RC' download or do I also need the WinFX SDK, or is it the longhorn SDK
Thanks for your help
Graham

What do I need for Avalon?

The link you have mentioned corresponds to the WebSetup Version of the first link that I have mentioned. In fact after you do validate the Genuine Windows stuff on that page it takes you to the page where it mentions about the link which I have mentioned.
In Web setup, I dont think the install files can be saved which means u need to download again in case you want to resinstall.

In order to locate the templates, start VS2005 IDE and expand the language say C#, you will find a separate entry for Avalon. and separate Avalon Projects listed there.
Indigo comes as part of a new Namespace called System.Messaging.Indigo
as well as System.ServiceModel
Here are some samples:

You are on the right track. Continue and install the following two items below in the same order:
http://download.microsoft.com/download/2/B/0/2B02BCA5-1DF1-46FD-AE8A-B87DC4D2BF2F/en_avalon_indigo_redist_beta1_RC.iso
http://download.microsoft.com/download/5/4/0/5407D6E4-740E-413E-8E91-EF7AC53A478A/en_winfx_sdk_beta1_RC.iso
After this, you will get Avalon Templates in VS2005.

Yes both, C# and Visual Basic both have the Avalon Project types under them.
