Error : Cannot open be opened because its project type(.jsproj) is not supported by this version of the application - VS Express RC 2012 for Windows 8


Just Started work on Visual Studio Express RC 2012 for Windows 8, but when I tried to create my first JavaScript project, it gives an error which says "ProjectDirectory/ProjectName.jsproj" Cannot open be opened because its project type(.jsproj) is not supported by this version of the application. To open it please use version that support this type of project.

Searched a lot for this problem but didn't find this problem using (.jsproj) solution or VS 2012.

For additional information, I have also installed Visual Studio 11 Beta on same machine.

I am adding snap shot of error message this will help to get an idea about the problem.

Error : Cannot open be opened because its project type(.jsproj) is not supported by this version of the application - VS Express RC 2012 for Windows 8

Again please notice its an JavaScript Project Solution.

Any idea about this Error?


Solution

  • This issue may occur if you're running the beta version of VS 2012 side by side with RC.

    Do you have the beta version of VS 2012 installed or was this perhaps an upgrade of a system that had a previous version of Windows 8 installed along with the VS 2012 beta?
