Microsoft Test Professional 2013 can't open .net projects - visual-studio-2013

I recently got a copy of Microsoft Test Professional 2013, where previously I used Visual Studio 2012. I'm unable to run any projects within Visual Studio 2013 - Shell Integrated, which comes with Test Professional 2013.
The development team have upgraded to Visual Studio 2013 with no issues and we have tried changing the project versions.
I have checked that I have the correct .net framework and mvc installed.
Should I be able to open the projects and if so what might be going wrong?

How to open InstallShield Limited Edition project in Visual Studio 2015?

I have a Visual Studio solution developed in VS 2013. The solution included a setup project bu InstalledShield Limited Edition. Visual Studio 2015 says the setup project is not compatible. I reinstalled InstallShield which didn't didn't help. I don't see anything on Flexera's site about InstallShield which works in VS 2015. Are there plans for one or does Microsoft now want us to use something else for installation projects?
While you could theoretically register the extension manually, as in our initial testing that's the minimum required to get ISLE 2013 up and running, we have now released ISLE 2015, so you should update. This release includes support for Windows 10, Visual Studio 2015, .NET 4.6 (including a fix for the 1001 error from installing .NET 4.6), and other enhancements and bug fixes since the 2013 release.

Migrating a Web Deployment Project from Visual Studio 2010 to 2013

I've been working on a web development/deployment project (.wdproj) in Visual Studio 2010 that is used in production. Word is that in Visual Studio 2012, 2013, and probably 2015, web development/deployment projects are no longer compatible.
I've searched a myriad of sites trying to find some way to convert/migrate/upgrade my project so that I can work with it in at least Visual Studio 2013 but I have not had any luck. I figured something like this would be very common but that is far from the case.
How do I convert, migrate, or upgrade my current Visual Studio 2010 web development/deployment project (.wdproj) to be compatible in Visual Studio 2013?
I use the .wdproj to compile all my .cs files to the code-behind of my site. Is there a different way of doing this now? If so, where is the documentation for this?

How to allow Visual Studio to upgrade the project automatically?

I have some compatibility problems with vs 2010 file opened in vs 2013, i have read that maybe i can solve it activating the option "upgrade project automaticcaly" but i can't find it. Where i can find this option in Visual Studio 2013 Express?
EDIT
I can't launch the project ,i have tried in VS2010 Express , VS2012 Express , VS2013 Express... It seems so strange, it's an official demo of kinect sdk.
EDIT
Suddenly it starts work on visual studio 2010
It's not a project upgrade issue but the sounds of that error message - VS2013 Express doesn't support the project type you are trying to open.
The following page describes the s/w requirements for use that project
Kinect or Windows SDK
Specifically the s/w dev requirements are:
Visual Studio 2010, or Visual Studio 2012. The free Express editions can be downloaded from Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Express or Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 Express.
.NET Framework 4 (installed with Visual Studio 2010), or .NET Framework 4.5 (installed with Visual Studio 2012).
There are a lot of other requirements also listed on that page.
I would suggest you download VS2012 Express (its free) and work from there.

Unable to open project in VisualStudio 2010

I created a SilverLight solution in Visual Web Developer Express 2010. Now, my system got installed with Visual Studio 2010 Professional. On opening the existing express solution, I got the below error:
Unable to open project. An update to Microsoft Visual Studio is required to support the targeted version of SilverLight. Download the update at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink?LinkId=168436
It takes to install the add-on Microsoft Silverlight 4 Tools for Visual Studio 2010. My question is 'Why itz not part and parcel of professional edition?'
If I recall correctly, the silverlight tools for VS2010 were released very shortly after VS2010 went RTM. Silverlight is a separate technology that isn't dependent on Visual Studio. It's developed by a different group and they have separate release schedules.

Are Visual Studio 2010 Professional Solutions/Projects 100% compatible with Visual Studio 2010 Premium Solutions/Projects?

I am just wondering on what version of Visual Studio 2010 to install (Professional or Premium) If there are a few people in the team with a mix of VS2010 professional/premium, would opening solution/project files be an issue, ie incorrect version or prompts to upgrade prjects..
Projects include: asp.net mvc, database and silverlight.
In general projects created by the same version of different editions are compatible with one another - if the edition installed lacks features necessary to load a given project, it will inform you of such and simply not load the project.
