hey there. So, we have a VS2010 project and the VisualSVN server on one machine. We added a new machine with the client visual svn and the projected loaded in. except for the WCF service. i'm getting a...
" error : the project file c:/..../wcfProject.csproj cannot be opened.
The project type is not supported by this installation."
i've checked the directory, the files and file structure are there and the same as the main development machine. any tips/solutions?
thanks David K.
There are a few things this could be so I can't give you one specific answer. However, here are a few things to try on your machine that is throwing the error:
First, verify which version of Visual Studio is set as the default for opening csproj files. It could be that you installed SQL or something else that uses an older version of Visual Studio. Sometimes that can give an error. Even if the default is the Visual Studio version selector I've seen it throw an error. Open up the correct version of Visual Studio (through the Programs menu) and then inside Visual Studio try to open the package. If that works, you know the issue is with which version is opening the file.
If that doesn't work, you could try resetting the Visual Studio settings. From the run menu type devenv /setup This should reset the Visual Studio environment and hopefully it will fix the issue. If this does not work, try running devenv /ResetSkipPkgs from the Run menu. This will try to load any packages that Visual Studio previously skipped.
If these steps don't work, let us know. Give us any further error messages that come up after attempting these steps.
