Windows Phone: this version of Visual Studio does not have the following project types installed or does not support them

I'm exporting a Visual Studio Project file from Unity 4.6 for Windows Phone platform. However, .sln file that created by Unity cannot be open from Visual Studio 2012.
I'm getting following error.
Unsupported This version of Visual Studio does not have the following
project types installed or does not support them. You can still open
these projects in the version of Visual Studio in which they were
originally created.
- xyz, "D:\data\may5\June22nd2ndBuild\xxx\xxx.csproj" No changes required These projects can be opened in this version of Visual Studio
without changing them. They will continue to open in Visual Studio
2010 SP1 and in this version of Visual Studio.

You need to install Windows Phone SDK

While not mandatory, it will also prove useful to have Visual Studio Tools for Unity installed

Windows Phone 7 solution can no longer be opened by Visual Studio 2012 after opening it in Visual Studio 2013

I was developing a solution for Windows Phone 7 on my system using Visual Studio 2012. I installed Visual Studio 2013 and opened the solution with it. I found that Visual Studio 2013 won't let me build a Windows Phone 7 application, so I wanted to re-open the solution in Visual Studio 2012.
Now Visual Studio 2012 shows me the following error message:
This project is incompatible with the current edition of Visual Studio
What do I need to do to 'undo' the changes made to my project in the upgrade process so that I can continue working in the older version of Visual Studio to finish my project?
Visual Studio 2013 upgrades the project to the Windows Phone 8 SDK, and that is not compatible with Visual Studio 2012. If you are using a form of Source Control (Visual Studio Online, GitHub) you should roll back to the previous version. If not, Visual Studio (by default) creates a _backup folder under your solution where it will backup any files modified in the conversion process. Use these to return the project to its pre-visualstudio-2013-state.

Visual Basic 2010 - Creating a Silverlight project?

Hello,
My operating system is Windows 7 - SP1 (64bit). I tried to create a Silverlight project in Visual Basic 2010 (Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate - SP1). Complete Install expect SQL Server 2008 Express SP1 (x64). But I got this message,
So I went to that link shown above (here it is) and downloaded the Microsoft Silverlight 4 Tools for Visual Studio 2010 and tried to install it and this is the message I get,
The link in the above message leads here. What needs to be done here to create a Silverlight project in Visual Basic 2010?
Thanks for Vinicius for the help in above comments.
This is what I did. I went to Programs and Features in Control Panel and uninstalled everything with the term "Visual Studio 2010". Then installed Visual Studio 2010 again. That's it. It worked. It created the Silverlight project with Silverlight 3. I also installed Microsoft Silverlight 4 Tools for Visual Studio 2010 after that and it created the project.

Visual studio issues after installing visual studio 2013

I have Windows 8 machine.
I had visual studio 2010 and Visual Studio 2012 installed on my computer.
I installed the visual studio 2013 preview, and the 8.1 WDK.
After I installed Visual Studio 2013, my old project in C++ wasn't able to be compiled (in Visual Studio 2012) so I uninstalled Visual Studio 2013 and the WDK.
But the issue remains, i cannot compile my C++ project. I get error message such as "Windows.h cannot be found" I looked at the include directory and saw that I have the following include: $(WindowsSDK_IncludePath). but when I open "Macros>>" I can't this macro "$(WindowsSDK_IncludePath)".
I tried to uninstall Visual Studio 2010 and 2012 and reinstall them but it didn't fix the issue.
Does anyone know what might cause this issue and how to resolve it?
In order to build windows 8 apps in visual studio 2013, you must be using windows 8.1. (defined here). This is possibly the issue.
You also wouldn't see the windows sdk include path because the wdk would be uninstalled. I would recommend one of two things
get visual studio 2012 again, and download the windows 8 sdk
get windows 8.1, then install visual studio 2013, and use the windows 8.1 sdk
I know, its quite silly.
