I have Visual Studio 2012 Professional. When I try to open a particular csproj I get an error message
The project type is not supported by this installation.
It doesn't say what 'project type' the project is, nor what I need to install to be able to open it.
On inspecting the .csproj
file, I see the lines
<ProductVersion>9.0.30729</ProductVersion>
<ProjectTypeGuids>{349c5851-65df-11da-9384-00065b846f21};{fae04ec0-301f-11d3-bf4b-00c04f79efbc}</ProjectTypeGuids>
So what do need I install to be able to open this project? Please provide a link!
Found Visual Studio 2012 in the old 'add remove programs', then pressed 'change'. Fixed by installing 'Microsoft Web Developer Tools'
There is a really easy way to solve this.
Probably some of the dependencies are missing, and it is really hard to find out which one.
Go to
http://www.asp.net/downloads
Download ASP.NET and WebTools for your version of Visual Studio
A web platform installer will come up, which will install all the required tools
This solved my problem
There is no need to go through the ProjectTypeGuids
