The imported project C:\...\v4.5\Microsoft.Expression.Blend.WPF.targets" was not found
I was developing my WPF projects using Visual Studio 2013 in my old window 7. But when I installed new Windows 10 and also Visual Studio 2017 and tried to open my project; my project fail to load and got this error message:
the imported project "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Enterprise\MSBuild\Microsoft\Expression\Blend.NETFramework\v4.5\Microsoft.Expression.Blend.WPF.targets" was not found. Also, tried to fiend "Microsoft\Expression\Blend.NetFramework\v.4.5\Microsoft.Expression.Blend.WPF.targets in the fallback searchpath(s) for $(MSBuildExtensionsPath) - "C:\Progam Files (x86)\MSBuild" . These search paths are defined in "C:\Users\AdminPC\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\15.0_51bebed7\devenv.exe.config" . Confirm that the path in the declaration is correct , and that the file exists on the disk in one of the search paths. C:\Users\AdminPC\Documents\Visual Studio 2013\Projects\MyCustomMessages\MyCustomMessages.csproj
I Searched for some solutions I found I have to install BlendWPFSDKv4_en.msi Version 4, but still doesn't help also there is no BlendWPFSDKv4_en.msi version 4.5. What Should I do, Shall I install VS 2013 in order to fix this issue?
I had solved the problem by installing VS2015 in the same machine that has VS2017 and now the project works fine in VS2017.
