Have VS 2008 SP1 and a Data Dude/WiX/SilverLight Project and the right-click Create Unit Tests wizard is “borked?” There’s a hotfix for that…

Microsoft Help and Support - FIX: Problems occur in the Create Unit Tests wizard when you create a unit test for a method in a solution that contains a GDR project, a Silverlight project, or a WIX project in Visual Studio 2008 Service Pack 1

“Consider the following scenario. You open a solution that contains one of the following projects in Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Service Pack 1:

• A Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Team System Database Edition General Distribution Release (GDR) project
• A Microsoft Silverlight project
• A Windows Installer XML (WIX) project

Then, you open a source file, right-click a public method, and then select the Create Unit Tests item. In this scenario, the Create Unit Tests wizard starts. However, the following problems occur in the Create Unit Tests wizard:

• There are no type lists in the Types panel.
• The Output project list is missing.
• When you click the Settings button, the wizard closes immediately.
• The OK button is unavailable.

This is something I think we’ve seen (at least I know I’ve heard the team mention “WiX” and problems with Unit Testing in same sentence… Am confirming now) and given my interest in WiX and Data Dude I wanted to capture this for future reference…
