The project type is not supported by this installationHi,
I downloaded the VS 2005 SDK last friday and I am testing out one of the samples - an MFC sample. I can compile it, but when I try to compile an add-in, I get: -------------- The project file 'C:\ShapeAppSamples\ShapeAppBasicMFC\Sample AddIns\CSharp\AppLevel\ShapeAppMFCAppAddIn.csproj' cannot be opened. The project type is not supported by the installation. -------------- What did I not install? -- Thanks in advance, Juan Dent, M.Sc. Hi,
Judging by the project file extension, you didn't install C# :-) Show quote "Juan Dent" <Juan_Dent@nospam.nospam> wrote in message news:AB2AA69F-226B-4C81-AE20-94E5F195085E@microsoft.com... > Hi, > > I downloaded the VS 2005 SDK last friday and I am testing out one of the > samples - an MFC sample. > > I can compile it, but when I try to compile an add-in, I get: > > -------------- > The project file 'C:\ShapeAppSamples\ShapeAppBasicMFC\Sample > AddIns\CSharp\AppLevel\ShapeAppMFCAppAddIn.csproj' cannot be opened. > The project type is not supported by the installation. > -------------- > What did I not install? > -- > Thanks in advance, > > Juan Dent, M.Sc. Hi,
No, the thing was the project generated by VSTA had a strange Project Type GUID and lacked Version and another tag. I corrected this and was able to open and compile. Thanks anyway...

I have exactly the same problem, what is it exactly that you corrected? regards Daniel Rabe Juan Dent wrote: Show quote > Hi, > > I downloaded the VS 2005 SDK last friday and I am testing out one of the > samples - an MFC sample. > > I can compile it, but when I try to compile an add-in, I get: > > -------------- > The project file 'C:\ShapeAppSamples\ShapeAppBasicMFC\Sample > AddIns\CSharp\AppLevel\ShapeAppMFCAppAddIn.csproj' cannot be opened. > The project type is not supported by the installation. > -------------- > What did I not install? > -- > Thanks in advance, > > Juan Dent, M.Sc. Hi,
You need to remove the ProjectType element that has a GUID - its usually the first entry under the first PropertyGroup. Then you need to add these elements: ---------------- <ProductVersion>8.0.50727</ProductVersion> <SchemaVersion>2.0</SchemaVersion> ---------------- just below the removed element. Hope it helps!

If
you are using a "Web Application" project type, it seems that the "real" fix is to install: WebApplicationProjectSetup.msi (for more info see: http://webproject.scottgu.com/) Apparently MS removed that from the default VS installation and you now have to install it separately. Unbeknownst to me someone else had already done this on the other machine. Note that you may first need to install VS80-KB915364-X86-ENU.exe for the WebApplicationProjectSetup.msi to install correctly. jason  |
