I'd like to use the Screen Saver template (and any other templates) in C#
Express, but I have the enterprise version of Whidbey installed instead and
would rather use that. Are templates transferable from Express to Whidbey
(full) without actually creating a new project instance?

FYI I found the template items (the .zip file and the cache directory), and
I copied them over, but the cache.bin file is used for managing installed
templates, and being as it's binary there is no straightforward (XML-like)
way to add the new template without hacking the file with a binary editor.
:(

Aha! I ran:

devenv.exe /setup

... and it worked! The Screen Saver template is now available in my New
Project items within the Enterprise Edition of VS 2005.
