A while back now I created a Visio Stencil full of MOSS 2007 Shapes. I have since added extra shapes. It now includes the following servers, plus the ability to create your own servers from the individual shapes.

Work will begin soon on the SP2010 Visio shape set. Watch this space.
I installed Visual Studio 2008 Extensions Version 1.3 CTP (VSeWSSv13_AMD64_Build-433.exe available from here) on my Windows Server 2008 with MOSS 2007 and IIS 7. The Visual Studio extensions gives you the solution generator used to create list and site definitions.
When I tried to open the Solution Generator, I got the following Error:
Error 2 The content type text/html; charset=utf-8 of the response message does not match the content type of the binding (text/xml; charset=utf-8). If using a custom encoder, be sure that the IsContentTypeSupported method is implemented properly. The first 1024 bytes of the response were: '<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

Following some Googling (or should that be Binging) The reason was because Visual Studio 2008 Extensions Version 1.3 CTP uses WCF in the deployment process and you cannot run WCF in IIS 7 unless you do the WCF HTTP Activation, and the default configuration of Windows server 2008 doesn't provide this, so you can do WCF HTTP Activation by following these steps:
Click on Turn Windows features on or off on the left panel
Click On Features --> Add Features:
Check HTTP Activation Check box under WCF Activation:
Now the solution generator should open with no problems
If you are using a SQL server instance on static port (best practice for to secure SQL) there are a couple of things you need to do.
