"The project type is not supported by this installation?" - VS2008 and VS extension for sharepoint error!

I was cracking into getting my machine setup for a sharepoint project that I'm working on and came up with the above error.

I installed all the new(er) Beta bits from and opened up my VS2008 seeing all the new sharepoint project types - cool! (I thought)

Each time I either created or opened an existing project - boom! up came the error.

So I figured the installation didn't complete properly.........after running/re-running/uninstalling/installing countless times the error was still there!!!!

My one solace and saving grace was running the following command line:

1. open Visual Studio command prompt
(start->programs ->Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 -> Microsoft studio tools->Command prompt)

type the command : devenv /setup
tats it..
