For some (experimental) work that I am currently doing with Clemens we needed a version of Blueprints that installs on the current VS 2010 CTP. I am sure every developer already knows how to modify an .MSI package by using ‘Orca’ (part of Windows SDK) so I am not going to explain in detail how to do that. However, the good news is, that if we open the Blueprints 2.1.2 CTP in Orca, replace every occurrence of ‘Visual Studio 9.0’ by ‘Visual Studio 10.0’ and save it again we are good to go. No other changes needed. The modified installer runs without issues on VS 2010 CTP and so far we haven’t found any problems with Blueprints on VS 2010.

If you are interested in the work we are doing, I suggest to go read an introductional post that Clemens just posted which describes some early ideas. Expect some more details in the next coming days, weeks, months on both Clemens blog and/or this one.
