Standalone Workflow Configuration and Deployment

When I compiled, open and tried the CrmWorkflowConfigurationAndDeployment project, I saw that this was integrated with the Visual Studio IDE. The problem is, that I compiled my own workflow and that the tool gives me an error when I wanted to deploy it on my CRM 4.0 server.

This tool is great, but, when it's the time to debug it, I don't want to launch, an IDE, and attach an other IDE to the Visual studio addin, just to know what is going on, and after redeploy the Addin just to see if the bug is fixed.

I converted the VS Addin to a stand alone application, by adding a program.cs and a master form that call the 3 forms of the workflowconfigurationtool project, in the SDK samples.

The program.cs form:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace Microsoft.Crm.Sdk.Tools
{
    static class Program
    {
        /// <summary>
        /// The main entry point for the application.
        /// </summary>
        [STAThread]
        static void Main()
        {
            Application.EnableVisualStyles();
            Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false);
            Application.Run(new Master());
        }
    }
}

and the master.cs form

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace Microsoft.Crm.Sdk.Tools
{
    public partial class Master : Form
    {
        /// <summary>
        /// Required designer variable.
        /// </summary>
        private System.ComponentModel.IContainer components = null;

        /// <summary>
        /// Clean up any resources being used.
        /// </summary>
        /// <param name="disposing">true if managed resources should be disposed; otherwise, false.</param>
        protected override void Dispose(bool disposing)
        {
            if (disposing && (components != null))
            {
                components.Dispose();
            }
            base.Dispose(disposing);
        }

        /// Required method for Designer support - do not modify
        /// the contents of this method with the code editor.
