The Application Templates for Windows SharePoint Services 3.0, also known as the Fab40, is a set of forty different templates that can be used within a SharePoint environment.
These templates are good to use as a starter when creating new SharePoint sites or custom solutions and I recommend that you install them into your test or development environment. But the download contains 40 different .wsp and .stp files which has to be installed one at a time; either using STSADM or using the web interface.
Why not using a script?
And here is one...
1: @SET STSADM="c:\program files\common files\microsoft shared\web server extensions\12\bin\stsadm"
2:
3: for %%f in (*.wsp) do %STSADM% -o addsolution -filename %%f
4:
5: for %%f in (*.wsp) do %STSADM% -o deploysolution -allowgacdeployment -immediate -name %%f
6:
7: for %%f in (*.stp) do %STSADM% -o addtemplate -filename %%f -title %%f
8:
9: pause
10:
11: IISRESET
Just create a .bat (or .cmd) file and copy the text from above and save the file.
Open up a command prompt and run the file and wait for the script to finish.
Tada...
