On my system, Windows Vista, this works properly.

If you use New/ Project/ it defaults to Mathematica/Application Project.
That would be the normal choice and it works. When I chose Basic Project
instead, the wizard did not freeze, although I canceled before actually
creating the project.

Go to Window/Preferences Mathematica and make certain the Preconfigured box
is checked.
Go to Paclet Development and make certain the two boxes are checked.

Maybe there is a problem with Workbench on Linux?

I am trying to simply open a test project using the wizard, as
illustrated in the video linked in the Welcome section.

I choose open New Project. The wizard pops up. I choose Basic
Project in the Mathematica list.

The wizard freezes. Nothing else happens.

I have also cannot open an existing package and get a long list of
error messages, similar to those submitted earlier by another poster
to this thread.

I am running this on Linux 9.10 and Workbench 2.0.

Hi,

if I choose "Basic Project" I have to click "Next".
When exactly freezes the WB? When you click on the "Basic Project" icon
or when you click next?
Have you tried to start the WB from the commandline to see
whether there's an exception when you click?

Cheers
Patrick

hmm, I did it once from the command line and it worked. Tried it just
by clicking on the icon on the panel and now it seems to work. I
changed nothing.

Maybe I was just doing something stupid.

Okay, I'll play with it more.

Thanks,
Chuck
