WCF REST Starter Kit Preview 1

I encountered a NullReferenceException when I tried to install the Visual Studio content that comes with the WCF REST Starter Kit Preview 1. I found a work around, so I thought I'd share. Download the source package from CodePlex and in the "Futures/Visual Studio Templates Installer" directory you will find RESTStarterKit.vsi. Just double-click it and you should be good to go. When I tried to execute RunVsi.exe it just crashed.

Make sure you run the setup as admin and if that fails just run the .VSI file in the WCF REST Starter Kit directory - this is a known issue we will fix it.

Thanks for the confirmation. I wasn't sure if it was just me as I just discovered my memory was occasionally overheating, causing havoc on my box.
