I've installed the latest August CTP version and when following the DLinq designer walkthrough I don't see a DLinkObjects template in the add new item dialog. Somehow this is not installed correctly (I also tried a repair but it didn't work).
If I create a file with a .dlinq extension it does open up the designer and I can drag tables from the server explorer.
Any advice is welcome.

First of all, the DLINQ Designer was a feature of the May 2006 CTP, not the August ADO vNext CTP. Since the May CTP was a prereq for the August CTP, I assume you have installed it.
As for the DLINQ Object template, I suspect you are working with a LINQ Web site. By default, the designer is not present in the templates for web sites, only Windows and Class Library LINQ projects. You should be able to add a business tier class library to your solution which will be responsible for isolating the business objects and add the DLinq designer that way.
