Hi I've downloaded the 40 templates for Windows Sahrepount Services 3.0 but when I want to Install them I kind of get lost :P the problem I have is with the step: "Pull the solution file, ApplicationTemplateCore.wsp, from the extracted distribution. This solution file will be added to the solution store, a table in the Windows SharePoint Services configuration store that holds solution files." So then I can "Via command line, run stsadm –o addsolution –filename ApplicationTemplateCore.wsp", please cpould you help me I have really no idea on what is the solution store...please some help .... my mail es johana85@gmail.com. I would really appreceate some help.

Wesley,

I had the same problem with the default.master error creating the new site.  I realized that what I had done was used my own suffix instead of SAMPLE... I used PM.  I copied the STS folder in 1033 and renamed it PM.  I then copied the STS folder in the SiteTemplates directory and renamed it PM.  I then copied the webtemp.xml file in 1033/xml and renamed it webtemppm.xml.  What I screwed up was in the webtemppm.xml file I left the template name set to SAMPLE in the XML markup.  I received the same error.  I tried the execadmsvcjobs and it didn't help, as the wsp showed no errors.  I went back through everything and noticed that the template name should have been set to PM.  I changed it and then everything worked fine.

Anyone know if/where we can get the Visual Studio source for the Helpdesk Application? We need to find a way to add a Department Field to the New & Edit Service Request Forms.

Resolution related to ApplicationTemplateCore.wsp command line error:

Finally what helped to us is as following:

1)Download the solution .EXE file to your computer.

2)Run the .EXE file to unpack the template file

to a location on your computer.

Copy ApplicationTemplateCore.wsp file in to

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\BIN location

3)Click on Start

4)Click on Run

5)Type Cmd

6)Type CD C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\BIN

7)Type(Don't paste, that would not work)following command

STSADM.EXE -o addsolution -filename ApplicationTemplateCore.wsp

Enjoy!

I was getting the "Failed to instantiate file "default.master" from module "DefaultMasterPage": Source path "default.master" not found." error. All it was, I had copied the webtemp.xml file and forgot to change the template name. Went back and changed it and it works fine for me. Thanks a heap to Gary.

This is a great template. I was just wondering if any one knows of a place where we can get information on how to modify the template.
