Right after BizTalk Server 2009 beta was announced I worked on a virtual PC image to check this new stuff. I installed Windows Server 2008, SQL Server 2008, Visual Studio 2008 and of course BizTalk Server 2009 beta.
When I tried to create a new Empty BizTalk Server Project in Visual Studio I ran into the exception "The project type is not supported by this installation". I thought it had something to do with my installation so I tried again and again with different settings, but with no result. I couldn't find much about this error on the internet so I suspected it to be my issue only.
It must be something with Visual Studio so I tried a different version, the trial version of Visual Studio 2008 Team System and it worked right away. In my other attempts I used the Visual Studio 2008 Standard edition, so it looks like some part of the installation isn't done correctly for this Visual Studio version.
It took me quite some time so I hope I can save you some time in case you experience the same issue.
