I'm unable to run a .vdproj in Visual Studio 2019 Community Edition. I tried the below link which hasn't worked either
Visual Studio - vdproj is incompatible
The project shows incompatible and after installing the Installer Project as Extension given in the above link , the project load is failing. Unable to proceed. Please help
This is redundant question.
Please follow this link for the answer:
Visual Studio - vdproj is incompatible
Or follow these Steps which is also taken from that link:
Go to Extensions > Manage Extension
Select Online > Visual Studio Marketplace
Search for Microsoft Visual Studio Installer Projects
Download the package
Close the Visual Studio to start the installation.
Follow the instructions to install the extension.
Once installation is completed. Launch again the Visual Studio.
In the Solution Explorer, look for the .vdproj project
Right click .vdproj project, click Reload
If all of the mentioned remedies not help, there is another possibility, which was the case here in VS2019 Community.
Installed extensions can not only be uninstalled, but also be disabled. In that case it looks like so:
The "Disable" and "Uninstall" buttons show up after a right-click on the corresponding object.
In my case and to my big astonishment, the Installer Project was disabled (showing "Enable" in the button), whoever did it.
It cost me about 2 hours to find out, some restarts of VS2019 and wondering about useless instructions about having to install the extension. After enabling, everything worked like before. Sigh of relief.
After doing lot of research on this topic, Visual Studio 2019 Community edition , is not supporting these kind of projects. Older versions like 2015 , 2010 supports.
Or convert these projects into a console application and run it for local setup and debugging.

I am trying to build Mozilla on Windows 7 64bit
I tried to run this start-shell-msvc2015.bat but got this error.
MozillaBuild Install Directory: C:\mozilla-build\
Visual C++ 2015 Directory: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\V
C\
Windows SDK Directory: C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.1\
Unable to call a suitable vcvars script. Exiting.
Press any key to continue . . .
I did everything according to their instructions
When in doubt, search Google for the error message. From the first result:
Hallvord R. M. Steen:
To anybody else who might have this problem: it's caused by choices made during installation, and the installer options were somewhat confusing. I don't remember the exact details, but I think the "Default" installation no longer gives you the required scripts - the "Default vs custom" section on https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/e2h7fzkw%28v=vs.140%29.aspx seems to confirm that you need to choose "Custom" during install and enable Visual C++ tools specifically.
Andrew Overholt: You're right, Hallvord. I went back to my VS2015 installation .exe download, clicked "Modify [the existing installation]" and picked "Common Tools for Visual C++ 2015" under "Programming Languages" > "Visual C++".
Also you'll need at least update 3 if you're using the VS2015 Community Edition. From that Mozilla dev docs page:
Once you’re up to date, download and install Visual Studio Community 2015 Update 3 from Microsoft. If you have an earlier version of Visual Studio, you'll need to upgrade; Firefox relies on C++ features that aren't supported in older versions of Visual Studio. Do not accept the default configuration. Instead, select **Programming Languages > Visual C++ > Common Tools for Visual C++ 2015.*
See also this question on Super User.
Furthermore, the MDN docs actually were updated with this info after that report, and indeed the current build instructions contain, in bold:
Be sure to install the "Common Tools for Visual C++ 2015", which requires a customized installation in Visual Studio 2015.
In the prerequisites section.

I'm trying to open this project (https://github.com/shtejv/ARDrone-Control-.NET) downloaded from the internet but just when I open the project this error appears: "The project type is not supported by this installation."
It also shows the solution corresponding to that project as unavailable.
What can I do? maybe should I download a newer version of Visual Studio?
EDIT: The project that is causing the fail is called ARDrone_Testing so maybe it's a unit testing project so I'll need the full version of VisualStudio2010. I read it in this post!
SOLUTION: It finally works properly, I've just finished installing vs2013 professional and open the project without any problem!
Thank you all!
I'm looking at the .sln file and it is created with Visual Studio 2010:
Microsoft Visual Studio Solution File, Format Version 11.00
# Visual Studio 2010
What project is failing? (the name of the project)
Additional dependencies like DirectX shouldn't affect the project loading.
This might be a trivial error in my setup but I cannot seem to find where I went wrong in stalling SSDT 2013 with SQl Server and having the open to create a new database template
please see image
what I expect to be in the list in a sql template with the option to create a new database project
could someone tell me what i'm missing ?
Thanks in advance
For database projects you'll need to install a version of Visual Studio that supports it - in your case it looks like you ran the standalone SSDT-BI installer which installs SSIS, SSAS and SSRS templates. This doesn't include database project templates. What you need is to install one of the VS versions with support - there are 2 Express versions (Express for Web and Express for Windows Desktop) and 3 paid versions (Premium, Pro, Ultimate). Here is a quote from the SSDT blog post explaining this:
Visual Studio 2013 - VS 2013 now has SQL Server tooling built in and shipped as part of the core product. Database Projects, SQL tools (such as schema compare & data compare), and the online experiences through SSOX are all included with the RTM version. We have full project and SSOX support in VS Express for Web and Express for Windows Desktop, so we have discontinued our stand-alone integrated shell offering. We have a component update feed that will use VS Update to push notification to users. To manually check for updates, go to the Tools > Extensions and Updates... menu to open the dialog. We will continue to post announcements on our blog and forum that a release is available and what is included in that update.
What version of Visual Studio 2013 are you using? You need to have either the Ultimate, Premium or Pro version for SSDT (Link).
If you do have the right version of Visual Studio then you may need to re-run the installer and opt in to SQL Server Data Tools during setup.
I had this issue and resolved it several years ago. I needed to reinstall SSMS with Data Tools. Unfortunately I am encountering the same issue now, but luckily I had documented the issue at the time. I am finding that because there are newer versions of both VS and SSMS, it is hard to find the proper downloads.
From my documentation (3 years ago) None of the attempts to correct the Visual Studio install directly (SSDTBI_x86_ENU download from Microsoft) were successful, but once we did a complete reinstall of SQL Server 2014 which included the Data Tools, the needed template was available in the Add New Project dialog, and the previously incompatible projects found in GitHub******Report.sln were now compatible.
I am trying to migrate my silverlight applications from version 3 to version 4. I've been running into this problem. when i try to install silverlight4 tools for visual studio 2010
Visual Studio 2010 or Visual Web Developer Express 2010 or Visual Phone Developer Express 2010 that matches the language version of Silverlight Tools 4 must be installed before installation of Silverlight Tools can continue. Silverlight Tools is available in other languages at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=177432.
I have installed
microsoft visual studio 2010 professional
version 10.0.30319.1.RTMRel
Microsoft .net framework
version 4.0.30319 RTMRel
please help!!!!!
Silverlight tools 4 is available in English, French, German and Japanese. You need to have downloaded the correct language version of the Silverlight Tools (note the language combobox).
If your version of Studio is installed for another language then you could try installing the English Visual Web Developer Express 2010 (it should install fine side-by-side with your standard product) then installing the Tools. I'm not sure that will get you completely to where you'd want to be as far as templates are concerned but it should get you going.
How to determine what failed
If you use the Web Platform Installer to install, it tells you in the log file what happened.
IronSpigot::Main::LogPackageNameAndVersion(): Package Name = Silverlight 4 Tools for Visual Studio 2010
IronSpigot::Main::LogPackageNameAndVersion(): Package Version = 10.0.30319 1033
It will compare these against the values in the following two registry keys:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0\Setup\VS\BuildNumber\1033
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0\General\UILanguage
If you have VS.NET 2010 SP1 for en-us, the first will contain '10.0.40219' and the second 1033.
The setup confusingly reports this as a language issue, but if you read carefully it is a language and version issue.
Here's how to work around the version check:
Using regedit, change the first key to 10.0.30319. Run the setup.
Using regedit, change the first key back to 10.0.40219
I recommend reapplying SP1 to be safe, but I'm not sure if it is required.
This other answer has a longer solution which is to uninstall SP1, install the tools, then reinstall SP1.
coudn't find the soulution.
however my issue resolved when i installed the same build version of Visual Studio Premium version.
Package Load Failure
Package 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.Xaml' has failed tot load properly. . . yadda, yadda, yadda.
So now what? This package is somewhat important since I was hoping to do some WPF stuff this afternoon. Tried running without it and my XAML design view is gone.
I already tried "devenv /resetsettings" from the command prompt.
Thanks,
Scott
Try repairing the install.
Control Panel
Add Remove Programs
Select Visual Studio 2008 and choose "repair"
Did you recently install any updates to Visual Studio or any Add-Ins? If so can you please list them?
Install SP1: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=FBEE1648-7106-44A7-9649-6D9F6D58056E&displaylang=en
I had this problem after a fresh install of VS2008 Team System. Tried loading the updates, running setup, re-installing. No luck.
Installed SP1 and bingo! No more package load failures.
I -FINALLY- saw this error going into Tools|Options|Environment Fonts and Colors after trying everything I could think of to get it not to crash when I chose Tools|Import and Export Settings.
I had this problem when I installed Visual Studio Professional.
My theory was that it was because I already had Visual C# 2008 Express Edition installed.
Once I uninstalled both then reinstalled Visual Studio Professional it worked.
This is consistent with the OP's solution, which was to uninstall anything else which implemented XAML functionality.
In my case, just reinstalling SP1 didnt worked
Then i saw ive had two languages mixed in the IDE. So ive checked the installed programs and found:
Microsoft Visual Studio Tools For Applications 2.0 ENU
Microsoft Visual Studio Tools For Applications 2.0 Language Pack - ESN
When ive uninstalled the additional pack, the design views started to work again
In my case the machine.config file had gotten some bad XML due to a recent installation. There were two closing tags. After we corrected the bad XML, .NET works just fine.
Thank you Abraham for the hint. I was missing an end tag in my .NET 2.0 x86 machine.config.
However I had already spent hours repairing, uninstalling, installing and installing service packs.
WOULDN'T IT BE NICE IF VISUAL STUDIO 2008 GAVE A "MACHINE.CONFIG" CORRUPT ERROR!
