"Error Loading Workflow" Visual Studio .NEt 2005

Its great day  and i have decided to create an "Custom workflow" got one sample from internet and life seems to be soo easy/But the truth is not that easy ...

As soon as i started to create a Workflow project using sharepoint workflow template which u can get by downloading the ECM Starter kit "http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=38CA6B32-44BE-4489-8526-F09C57CD13A5&displaylang=en "

 

Well started the project and selected sequential work flow and was shocked to get the error message :

 

Error Loading Workflow

 

An error occurred while loading the workflow. Please correct the following error and try reloading the document to view the workflow. :(

 

Thought of doing soem research but no luck initially  .Took a tea break and then started with a revitalized mind. It came to my notice that i am missing three components from the project reference

• Microsoft.sharepoint.workflowactions.dll
• Microsoft.office.workflow.tasks.dll
• Microsoft.sharepoint.dll

 

Added these references and wolaah ...Things started working ...

 

Life is real good ....
