Question : Creating Visual Studio 2008 Development Environment for Sharepoint 2007 Sequential Workflows
Hi,
Using Visual Studio 2008 (I could upgrade to Visual Studio 2010 if necessary) I'm currently trying to develop a custom workflow to be deployed on Sharepoint Server 2007 and I was wondering what is the best way to approach it?
Ideally I would like to do my development on my local machine (XP Professional) and then deploy it to Sharepoint but I've heard that this is not easily done? I heard that it may be possible using Windows 7? I could upgrade to this also if necessary.
What I've tried:
Using a virtual machine, I've installed the following:
Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise x64
Microsoft Office Sharepoint Server 2007 x64
SQL Server 2008
VS2008 and VS2010
Visual Studio 2008 extensions for Windows SharePoint Services 3.0, v1.3
However, using VS2008 when I try to create a New Project->Sharepoint 2007 Sequential Workflow it throws an error "Object reference is not set to an instance of an object". It then progresses to the next screen where I can enter a site but says it can't find whatever site I enter. As for VS2010, it says a 32 bit version of WSS is required and then closes when I attempt to create a new project of the same type.
Any help is greatly appreciated,

First of all, I find WSPBuilder much easier to work with for SharePoint developments. Download that from Codeplex.
Make sure you have the latest .NET framework you need installed.
