For legacy reasons we still use the Microsoft Visual Studio Installer Project Extension.
In the setup project there is an project output added of type content files that points to a library project.
Via this output 3rd party stuff is included into the setup.
After migrating the library project to the new VS2017 format, the content files are empty and aren't included into the setup anymore.
Visual Studio is 2017, newest update and the installer project extension is up to date as well.
Any ideas on how to get this working?
I converted the project back to the old project format and it works again. But as the old format doesn't display NuGet references nicely, it would be cool to being able to update to the VS2017 format.

I am trying to develop my own plugins in xamarin form. I installed Cross-Platform .NET Standard Plugin Templates in VS 2019. I can see in description Cross-Platform .NET Standard Plugin Templates works with 2017 and 2019.
When I try to create new project it keeps going on saying creating project.
When I look in the directory, I can see some files being generated.
It's an existing issue with VS2019
Creating a new Project with VS2019 shows missing references / they cant be loaded. Appeared after last VS Update.
If you wait long enough you can do the following :
Note- after last VS 2019 update- edit the csproj file and update the MSBuild.Sdk.Extras to version 2.0.54 so all dependencies load and the project will build.
UPDATE:
Had to download Visual studio 2017 to create the project
Downloaded and Installed Typescript 1.4 from typescript page into VS 2013 Community Den Update 4.
Following install (no error messages), I tried to add a new typescript file. I expected to see such an option in the righ-click menu on "ADD new". Cannot find any reference to typescript files anywhere in any of my projects.
I can manually create a file and give it a ts extension in the "Scripts" directory of my project. However, there is no intellisense and no indication that a "shadow" js file has been created.
I'm at a loss as to how to get typescript working in VS 2013 Community Edition
I think I found the problem.
To use typescript in conjunction with an existing project in Visual Studio, I had to add a new project (using the typescript template) to the solution containing my existing project. Then, I could add new typescript files to the typescript project.
The generated javascript files in the TypeScript project could then be made available to the pages in the existing (co-)project by selecting the "Output to Folder" option on the Typescript project, specifying the scripts folder in the other project.
I am working with Microsoft Visual Studio and have a problem when opening a solution file. The solution file consists of a core project and multiple plugin projects. During development, there may be instances where every plugin project is not extracted with the core.
When opening this solution file during development, Visual Studio will complain about missing plugin projects and will have a separate pop-up window for each missing project. Is there some setting in Visual Studio to turn off this warning? Ideally, I do not want to have multiple instances of the solution file or create a script to modify the solution file every time a new project is extracted from our repository. I looked through all of the settings and could not find a flag or warning to turn off.
You might have build the project in the previous version (i.e 2008) and trying to open in the newer version (i.e 2010).
Visual Studio 2012 (and 2010, too) has a Start Page that has links and streamed videos. Is it possible for my package to provide content on this page, e.g., create a separate section next to Welcome/Windows 8/etc.?
I finally got a custom start page working in VS2012 - my issue was I could not install the Start Page Project Template in 2012 as the extension only installs on 2010 (which I don't have access to) and my My Documents folder is mapped to a network drive, so putting the raw XAML file in My Documents/Visual Studio 2012/Startpages didn't work as Visual Studio refused to use this "untrustworthy file".
Download the Start Page Template from here.
Rename the file to .zip and extract it.
Copy the "\Solution\CSharp\Extensibility\StartPage.zip" file to your project template folder (by default "My Documents\Visual Studio 2012\Templates\ProjectTemplates\Visual C#").
Create a new project using this template.
Follow the instructions here to upgrade from 2010 to 2012 start page.
Update the project properties target framework to 4.5.
Update the project references in the Control project by removing the Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.10.0 reference and adding the Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.11.0 and Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Immutable.11.0 references.
Update the namespaces references in the xaml file by replacing the existing ones with the two below.
xmlns:vs="clr-namespace:Microsoft.VisualStudio.PlatformUI;assembly=Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.11.0"
xmlns:vsfxim="clr-namespace:Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell;assembly=Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Immutable.11.0"
Replace the references to vsfx:VsBrushes keys to vs:EnvironmentColors keys, e.g. vsfx:VsBrushes.StartPageBackgroundKey to vs:EnvironmentColors.StartPageTabBackgroundBrushKey
In the VSIX project, make the following changes to the source.extension.vsixmanifest file (values depending on if 2010 support is desired, it is not for me):
Add an author, the default empty tag is not allowed: <Author>Ken</Author>
Change/add the visual studio support version to 11.0: <VisualStudio Version="11.0">
Change the supported runtime edition to include 4.5: <SupportedFrameworkRuntimeEdition MinVersion="4.5" MaxVersion="4.5" />
The VSIX solution should now build and spit out a VSIX file in the project bin folder. Install this and you can now choose your Start Page from the drop down list in the visual studio options.
I haven't actually developed my custom start page beyond this, but hopefully it is a helpful to people wanting to get started developing them with VS2012
EDIT: A project which includes a basic 2012 start page, custom control and can be deployed via VSIX: template

I have a solution which contains a project with the file extension .ump . This project cannot be loaded.
What is this project type and how can it be loaded?
I am using Visual Studio 2010 professional.
Bonus info: the solution build fine without this project and the application runs too.
Altova UML modelling tools save files as .ump files. I would suggest it is a representation of the application model saved alongside your source.
