The mistake I made was not realising there were two wsp files. One is the UI wsp for the ribbon. What I wanted was the Workflow wsp. I installed the UI wsp which was first on the list. Any wonder therefore that the actions did not appear in the workflow.

I’ve got the Solution.
The Workflows appears after I’ve restarted the Server.

Could someone post the ACTIONS file for the SPD actions? I have the component working in the SharePoint UI but nothing shows up in the Actions menu for SPD and there are no entries in the default WSS.ACTIONS file for any of the custom actions. I have installed this on two farms… THANK YOU!!!

That could be a permission thing. The featurereceiver should add these to the web.config, but the activation account will need enough permissions to perform the action.

It appears the deployment of the solution fails to add some “authorizedType” tags in the web.config.

Add the following entry to “authorizedTypes” and “authorizedRuleTypes” under “System.Workflow.ComponentModel.WorkflowCompiler”

This fixed the same issue for me.

I’ve haven’t encountered this problem before, but the code wasn’t thoroughly tested.

Could be issues in the SP2010 or SharePoint Designer beta.

thanks for the solution.. but
when i deploy from visual studio and try to add workflow action in the designer (there are in the list after solution deployed) – but NOTHING happens. NO Action appears in the workflow designers SCREEN.

The worst thing is that… IT WORKED TWO DAY AGO! And now it does not (
Did you ever come into collision with such “bug”? what can be wrong?
