I also encountered the same issue on a 64 bit W2K3 OS.

@Oliver: Thanks for making the tool "Pick of the month" It's nice to see that something you make, is usefull for others. Hopefully future tools from me/us will be just as usefull to you

Thanks for the great tool, already saved me a couple of hours on my dev projects.

We made it "Pick of the month" on http://www.sharepoint-tools.de

@Sherman Woo: Thanks for the details. Unfortunately I don't know if Imtech Fields Explorer has any conflicts with any of the tools you've mentioned. We will check it out and let you know if we find anything.

Hi Waldek, no, everything is local. I just tried installing your tool in my Server 2003 x86 VM, and it works fine. (I know, I changed 2 variables, but I don't have a Server 2008 x86 VM at home.)

It's worth noting in my Server 2008 x64 VM, I had installed John Holliday's CAML Intellisense tool and Andrew Connell's VS "Root folder" add-in ahead of yours, in case that might have an effect.

HTH.

@Sherman Woo: Jeffrey has just had a look at the Fields Explorer Visual Studio 2008 add-in on Windows 2008 (x86 though). It works correctly. Are you trying to open a remote site by any chance?

@Sherman Woo: thank you for your comment. Haven't checked it yet but will try to give it a look as soon as possible. Will let you know if I find something.

Hi Waldek, have you tested this in VS 2008 (Team System, SP1, .NET 3.5 SP1) but on Windows Server 2008 x64?

I can see the Fields Explorer window, but when I try to enter the site URL, I get an error indicating that the web application at [url] could not be found. I also tried localhost variants, with/without trailing "/", FQDN, you name it.

I have confirmed that the same URL works in IE, so I know SP is running. I *am* using different ports (I have nothing on port 80); could this be it?

Right now, I am guessing it's either x64 OS, the port, or something else. Thoughts?

(Thank you for this great tool. I am anxious to see how much it will speed up my dev.)
