Hi and thanks for a great work, I installed GAX and GAT to visual studio 2017 pro.
In our project, we use Smart Client Software Factory templates?
can I found them for visual studio 2017 version ?

[johnx7271]

you can port it yourself, by referring to how I did it for the GAT project. Smart Client Software Factory is basically a gax project as the GAT project is.

Could you please send vsix file? I have struggle to build your solution in VS 2017 without any sucess.

I have successfull build and installation of GAX package. But when I trying to build GAT project I recieve next error:

I saw that problem related with records in regedit.

Did you install gax built b4 build gat?

[AlibekTai]

Yes, I compiled vsix file from next Gax project C:\Working Copy\TOOLS\OpenGAX-VS2017\GAX\Src\VisualStudio\Package\VisualStudio.csproj firstly.
And I have successfull installation of that vsix file in VS 2017 and now I saw it in Extensions.
I gues for getting available GAX/GAT projects in New project option I have to install GAT vsix file.
