I saw in the forum that some of you have had problems getting the
development enviromment up and running. We have the same problems that it
just doesn´t work. How do you get this beast up and running???

The first problem was that you couldnt connect to an new SQL server database
with the DCA. A hotfix is on the way i guess.
Secondly after installing SP2 the template gallery editor in VS2003
dissapeared.
and lastly there is no connection to CMS at all from VS2005.

Has anyone (outside of MS) really got this up and running?

By the way. I have opened service cases with microsoft for all above issues.

I am sorry if this sounds a bit harsh, but we really feel frustrated and
want get up and running and start developing our new website.

Best regards
John Boghossian
