Getting setup and understanding WF Foundation is confusing and annoying. Knowing where to go and what to download what to install what order it's annoying to say the least, if you have a new computer and visual studio 2008 then you won't have any problems, but if your like me then you have visual studio 2005 and windows XP.

--- Installing WF Foundation ---

• .NET Framework 3.0 Runtime Components
• .Net Framework 3.5 Runtime Components
• .Net Framework 3.0 SP 1
• Visual Studio 2005 Extensions for .NET Framework 3.0 (Windows Workflow Foundation)

-- End Installing WF Foundation ---

Once you have the above installed you'll need to setup your SQL database.

C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.0\Windows Workflow Foundation\SQL\EN

Tracking_Schema.sql

Tracking_Logic.sql

Install the aspnet persistence provider

C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.0\Windows Workflow Foundation\SQL\EN

SqlPersistenceService_Schema.sql

SqlPersistenceService_Logic.sql

Install the aspnet membership provider (You don't need this but it's a good pattern to have if you don't have your own).

C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\aspnet_regsql.exe
