UNABLE TO CREATE EXCEL WORKBOOK PROJECT

I believe that the error may be the result of a missing registry key as I was able to reproduce the problem that you described once I installed the Visual Studio 2005 June CTP.

I found that once I added the following registry key that I was then able to successfully create a VSTO project for Microsoft Excel.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\8.0\Setup\VSTO]

String Value 
     Name - ProductDir
     Data - C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Visual Studio Tools for Office

Note that you may need to modify the path to the location where you installed Visual Studio 2005.

Hope this helps!
