I am having issues porting visual Studio Express solutions over to Visual Studio 2017. I have attempted to follow the advice in this article which has not solved the issue.
When I load my solution in 2017, I get an error stating "one or more projects in the solution were not loaded correctly" with the following output:
C:\Users\mikegjohn\Documents\Service Hub\Service_Hub\WindowsApplication1\Service_Hub.vbproj : error : The imported project "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v15.0\SSDT\Microsoft.Data.Tools.Schema.Sql.UnitTesting.targets" was not found. Also, tried to find "Microsoft\VisualStudio\v15.0\SSDT\Microsoft.Data.Tools.Schema.Sql.UnitTesting.targets" in the fallback search path(s) for $(MSBuildExtensionsPath32) - "C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild" . These search paths are defined in "C:\Users\mikegjohn\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\15.0_825df01c\devenv.exe.config". Confirm that the path in the declaration is correct, and that the file exists on disk in one of the search paths. C:\Users\mikegjohn\Documents\Service Hub\Service_Hub\WindowsApplication1\Service_Hub.vbproj
My solution explorer shows nothing and i cannot view any of the properties.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
I managed to fix this with the help of Lex Li Jun. I reinstalled a number of SQL modules which were left out on the standard VS2017 package and this solved my problem!

I've run in to an issue where I can't build a freshly created C++/CLI Class Library project in Visual Studio:
Even though I haven't made any changes I get an error when I try to compile:
Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State
Error Could not load UI satellite dll 'FileTracker32UI.dll'. Make
sure it exists in an LCID subdirectory of 'C:\Program Files
(x86)\MSBuild\14.0\bin\'. TestProject c:\Users\abcde\documents\visual
studio 2015\Projects\TestProject\TestProject\FileTracker 1
I've created C++/CLI Class Library projects in the past on the same computer using Visual Studio 2015 without encountering this problem. Any idea what has gone wrong?
I ran into this strange issue today without making any code change. I suspect it appeared due to overnight windows update.
In my case , I copied the two files FileTracker32UI.dll and FileTracker64UI.dll
From
C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\15.0\FileTracker\3082\
To
C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\14.0\Bin\3082\
and it worked. My visual studio version is
Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2015
Version 14.0.25123.00 Update 2
I am hoping the info helps someone.
I had the exactly same problem, after some windows update by my IT.
According to the information (https://forum.dlang.org/post/ezuohezwuzyitjdzpfdw#forum.dlang.org), I renamed the file "FileTrackerUI.dll" to "FileTracker32UI.dll" in the latest LCID folder (latest numbered folder in same location)
Then, it worked at my PC.
Good luck
In my case it was a path issue. Using another directory (shorter path without special characters) solved the problem
I am having an issue rebuilding a multi-project solution that contains an installer project. I keep getting the error: ERROR: Unrecoverable build error
I have scoured Google and this site and have tried the following, with no success;
Repairing VS
Repairing SSDT
Uninstalling SSDT
Registering both mergemod.dll and ole32.dll after closing VS and then rebuilding
If anyone has not been able to solve this issue using the above methods, I'd love to hear about it!
Thanks!
I had a similar issue yesterday (but with VS 2008). I did the following 3 steps and it fixed the issue:
Register the DLL mergemod.dll (regsvr32.exe C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\MSI Tools\mergemod.dll)
Register the DLL ole32.dll (regsvr32.exe ole32.dll)
Delete the cache/temporary visual studio files – which get generated as part of the builds. (C:\users{BUILD_USER}\appdata\local\temp).
Hope that helps!
I recently migrated my VSTO Add in projects from "VS2008 and office 2007" to "VS2013 and office 2013", Changes took place as below settings.
.Net Framework version from 3.5 to 4.5(While upgrading project).
I have added VSTO 2013 PIA assemblies to reference.
That's it, when i tried to compile i have faced below MSBuild errors.
C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v12.0\OfficeTools\Microsoft.VisualStudio.Tools.Office.targets(268,13): error MSB4064: The "TargetFrameworkVersion" parameter is not supported by the "SignFile" task. Verify the parameter exists on the task, and it is a settable public instance property.
C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v12.0\OfficeTools\Microsoft.VisualStudio.Tools.Office.targets(264,9): error MSB4063: The "SignFile" task could not be initialized with its input parameters.
and i have tried to find solutions over the internet but couldn't find much, Any Solutions for this problem will be helpful.
The problem was not the MSBuild, **
i have updated visual studio update 3 to update 4
and started working like charm.
I think Microsoft guys have moved something around from Update 3 to update 4 but this has been reported several times in many forums and i don't know why they have not mentioned it but this is one effective solution.
I ran into this issue. The problem is that Update 3 of Visual Studio 2013 moved some things around, so you need to use the MSBuild that is now installed with Visual Studio 2013 (or the standalone build tools for build servers). You need to make sure that you're using the correct MSBuild (currently at C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\12.0\Bin), and it should work.

This is still not working as of Visual Studio 2015 Update 3.
I had to actually modify the C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v14.0\OfficeTools\Microsoft.VisualStudio.Tools.Office.targets file and remove the TargetFrameworkVersion attribute from the SignFile task.
so I have downloaded a template from the tutorial website http://devmaster.net/posts/introduction-to-c-with-game-development-part-2-project-template
however I have a problem because the template was apparently made in Visual Studio 2008, and I have Visual Studio 2010. When I convert the project I get the error "Unable to start program'C:\c++\Debug\Template.exe' The system cannot find the file specified."
I looked in the original file before conversion and the \Debug\Template.exe file does exist, however after converting the file it gets deleted. I had a few warnings on my conversion and I found this:
"MSB8012: $(TargetPath) ('C:\c++\Debug\Template.exe') does not match the Linker's OutputFile property value 'Template_debug.exe' ('C:\c++\Template_debug.exe') in project configuration 'Debug|Win32'."
Any idea how to fix this?
Any help would be very appreciated
How about creating a fresh project in Visual Studio 2010 and adding the source files and dependencies. Then compile and run, always works!
Working with a LDAP server through Visual Studio 2010, the code I have here implicates this import:
Imports System.DirectoryServices
But this import apparently doesn't exist in VS 10. It gives no errors but it gives me a warning and also the rest of the code to the connection becomes invalid because it needs to recon the import to work. Has anyone have ever worked with this and it's certain on how to get it up and running?
If you have not figured this out by now, what I think you are saying is that you get a "compiler error" because the reference does not exist
I think you need to add the reference to System.DirectoryServices DLL to your project.
Try adding a project reference in visual studio to the DLL located in C:\Program Files (x86)\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework.NETFramework\v4.0\System.DirectoryServices.dll
Hope this helps.
