Hi,
I've just installed the DSL tools on VS 2005 .. on XP 64bit. I'm getting the same empty toolbox when I try the walk throughs as a number of others have mentioned. I have tried all the suggestions without success. I'm wondering if it's worth conitnuing on the 64bit platform or to rather revert ot dev-ing on the 32bit ... i.e. is there going to be a lot of issues like this

DSL tools on XP 64 bit

Hi Dustyn,
We're planning to support the DSL Tools on all platforms that the Visual Studio 2005 SDK is supported on for our V1, but we haven't yet started testing on 64-bit platforms.
Visual Studio and the DSL Tools are 32-bit applications and so run in the WOW layer on XP 64bit.
As we haven't yet started 64-bit testing, I can't speak for what other issues you will run up against, but I can say that until we begin such tests, the best we're likely to be able to advise specifically about 64-bit issues is "Thanks for reporting the problem".
Given this, I'd agree that right now is not the best time to be experiencing DSL Tools on 64-bit XP.

Hi Gareth,
I'm glad to here that you guys are planning to fully support 64bit. For the moment I'll stick to 32 ... thanks very much for the input.
