Nope, don't use their wizards, and I generally advise others to avoid them
as well, and instead just create and use Visual Studio project and item
templates. There's not really much the Autodesk wizard does that one can't
just as easily do using Visual Studio templates.
I use a number of project templates that I've made for specific types of
projects. They already include references to AutoCAD's assemblies and as
well as other assemblies I routinely use, along with commonly used code and
classes (like for example, a class that implements IExtensionApplication).
You can for example, modify a project template and insert replacable
parameters in code files (e.g., '$safeprojectname$' expands to the name of
the project which the template is used to create). That gives you some basic
control over the naming of classes and so forth, without the need for
script-based wizards. I also create and use Item templates which make it
very easy to add commonly-used classes and code as well.
The problem with Autodesk's wizard, and wizards in general, is that they do
not give you the flexibility of including your own commonly-used items (code
files, references and so on) that you routinely use in some types of
projects, but not in others.
You can very easily create multiple project templates, and leverage that by
creating different templates for each specific type of project, where each
template can include or reference items you use with a given type of
project.
Just build a simple project, and include whatever code you want to include,
and then just use Export Template on the File menu.

Yes it is through the Wizard that comes with the ARX api. I have not tried
the
new one as it seemed it was still under beta and I'm on a development
machine.
I did a reinstall of the wizard to no avail... I also noticed that the
install creates
an new entry for Visual C# under project types which I don't think happeded
before.
Are you using the new Wizard without issue? If so I'll just give that a go.

VS2008 and AutoCAD 2010. Has anyone seen this when creating a new project?
VS hangs and the error is thrown. Project is created without any references.
Both
AutoCAD and ARX are in the default location. Registry error?
