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.

Hi last months I upgraded Visual Studio 2019 and I'm experimenting some problems like freezing and crashing but the most annoying for me is this.
When I start Visual Studio and use "Go To Definition" in XAML for first time it works
But the next times I use "Go To Definition" it send me to the System.Windows.Data.Binding class
Anyone knows how to fix this or downgrade to a stable version of Visual Studio?
I have done the next things :
Delete .vs folder
Restore Nuget Packages
Reinstalled Visual Studio
Installed VS in another computer
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.
Whenever I open a WPF project, Visual Studio crashes. I start a second instance and attach the process to the first instance and I receive the following error once the project is "opened":
An unhandled exception of type 'System.MissingFieldException' occurred in Microsoft.VisualStudio.Progression.LanguageService.CSharp.dll
Additional information: Field not found: 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.Progression.Actions.GetNodeAtSourcePosition'.
I'm not entirely sure what to do. I have reinstalled Visual Studio once before and the error still occurs. Any help on this problem would be wonderful!
Had the same problem when creating a new project with VS2012. Applying VS2012 Update 1 did the trick for me.

Did you have a Beta Version of Visual studio installed in your system prior to this? What is your current version of VS? If yes, then you need to remove all the components of VS Beta version manually.
I'm running Windows 7 x64 with Visual Studio 2008 (SP1). Yesterday I came across an issue when creating WPF projects. I don't know if I've created any other WPF projects since I installed Win7.
First of all, in the Create Project dialog, the project type says "csWPFApplication" which is weird enough and I never noticed before. When I try creating the project I get 2 Package Load Failure errors for Microsoft.VisualStudio.Internal.WPFFlavor.WPFPackage and then a message that "The project file ... cannot be opened. The project type is not supported by this installation.
I tried a number of different suggestions from Google and even uninstalled/reinstalled to no avail. Any ideas?
Try starting Visual Studio with.
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual
Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe
/resetskippkgs
I would also try to just create a blank solution/WPF project. and then add the files from your old project one at a time, and see if you still get the error.
If that doesn't work, I would try to uninstall and reinstall .NET 3.5 which looks it could be corrupt.
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!
