Can't open a .dbproj file from VSTS DB Edition - visual-studio

The title says everything. I'm using Visual Studio Team System 2008 Database Edition and I just can't open any database project. I get the following error message:
'..' cannot be opened because its
project type (.dbproj) is not
supported by this version of the
application. To open it, please use a
version that supports this type of
project.
Does this ever happen to you?
Thank you

Just found the answer to my problem here. It worked fine, after executing the following command:
devenv /resetskippkgs
May be it'll help someone one day :)

"cannot load PDB" when running Visual-D project

When trying to run a simple "Hello world" D lang code snippet in Visual Studio (using the visual-d plugin), I see the following error in the logs:
D:\mydata\ConsoleApp\ConsoleApp\Debug\ConsoleApp.pdb: cannot load PDB helper DLL
where ConsoleApp is the name of my app. As per this thread, the problem should have been fixed in the v0.3.38-1 installer but I still see this issue. I'm using Windows 8.1 with Visual Studio Standalone/Integrated Shell.
Any help is making this run would be much appreciated.
If the latest VisualD installed does not fix the problem, then try the following fix http://stuff.benjamin-thaut.de/D/visualdfix.reg by Benjamin Thaut. Here is what what he wrote on the NG: "This is for visual studio 2010. If you need it for a
different version you have to open it with a text editor and change
"10.0" to "11.0" for 2012 and "12.0" for 2013."
I switched to the Mago debugger as mentioned on this wiki page and the error went away. Since I just want to get a feel of the language, not using the "native" debugging format doesn't bother me a lot, so all is well now.

Visual Modelling SDK VS 2013 - MinimalLanguage template does not run

If I create the basic example using the MinimalLanguage template in VS2013 it does not run when debugging in the Exp Instance. When I open Sample.mydsl1 it fails on line 234 of CommandSet.cs, with error "Operation is not valid due to the current state of the object".
Doing exactly the same in VS2012 works fine.
Any suggestions as to what is wrong and how this can be fixed for VS2013?
Can someone with VS2013 (prof) try the Extensibility MinLang template and let me know if it runs.
This looks like it was a problem with my VS2013 installation. A repair of it (before adding Update 1) appears to have cleared the isse.

VS 2010 Error: ...csproj Cannot Be Opened

I'm trying to launch a project created by someone else in my local environment. I'm currently using the following products:
Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate version 10.0.40219.1 SP1 Rel
MVC 2
Windows 7 Ultimate
But when I double click on the .sln file I get the following error:
C:\Users...\Desktop\ContactManager\ContactManager\ContactManager.csproj : error : The project file 'C:\Users...\Desktop\ContactManager\ContactManager\ContactManager.csproj' cannot be opened.
The project type is not supported by this installation.
Please help me load my project. :)
Thank you,

Turns out that I just needed to install MVC version 3. I guess the project that I was trying to open is using MVC3 and my machine only had 2 as you can see in my environment list above. I'm glad I was able to fix this BUT give me a better error message for crying out loud. Sheesh. ;)

I've come across this before. In my case, I had installed Microsoft SQL Server and, more importantly, BIDS. Whenever I would open a project that was created in VS2008, the VS version selector would identify this as a 2008 project and BIDS would try to open it (and this error would occur). What I did as a work-around is I would right-click on the .sln file and use the "Open With" to select VS2010. If that also works for you, you can change your defaults for what opens .sln files.
Another way to test this is to open VS2010 and then use the "Open Solution" menu option to open your solution. If this method works, you know the issue is the default program that is opening your .sln files.
In my case project needs to have MVC3 so at first i checked i have MVC3 template in Visual Studio 2010 (service pack 1 installed). I downloaded MVC3 installer frowm following link:

After installing my issue get resolved.

Visual Studio bug - Error writing the project file. Class not registered

I have just upgraded from Visual Web Developer Express 2008 to Visual Web Developer Express 2010. However, I can't use it. When I try to create a new project I get a small dialog box that says:
Error writing the project file. Class not registered.
(source: yart.com.au)
I have tried reinstalling and repairing the product to no avail.
The problem was MSXML6 was corrupt.
The answer is here:
http://www.ferolen.com/blog/error-install-ms-sql-server-express-in-windows-xp-sp3-msxml6-sp2/
But then I couldn't uninstall MSXML6 which led me to here:
http://www.thewindowsclub.com/microsoft-retires-windows-installer-cleanup-utility and this download page
Then I reinstalled MSXML6 from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=d21c292c-368b-4ce1-9dab-3e9827b70604&displaylang=en#filelist
and it worked.
Please go through the below site to know about ""Error writing the project file. class not register'"

FYI, after installing MSXML6 and still error happens.
type this in Run Box.
regsvr32 msxml6.dll

Error: The project type is not supported by this installation

I'm trying to open a silverlight project in Visual Studio 2008 and getting this error.
The project type is not supported by this installation.
Let me tell you I did installed:
VS2008
SP1
Silverlight Tools 3
Silverlight SDK
Silverlight
And they were installed in the sequence they are mentioned here. Still I'm getting the same error.
Adding some more details which might be helpful in identifying the cause:
When I try to create a new silverlight project it gives me error "Object reference not set to an instance of an object". And shows "...project creation failed."
I tried unistalling all of the things and installing them again. It really took a lot of time but didn't solved my problem.
Any help appreciated.
Open the project.csproj file with another editor, delete whatever you find between
<ProjectTypeGuids></ProjectTypeGuids>
I've had the same error when I tried to open a solution which required VB.NET, despite everything (to my knowledge) being C#.
If you've done a full install of VS then try this solution: http://andrewgunn.blogspot.com/2008/03/silverlight-project-type-is-not.html
Let us know how it goes.
Do you know who the silverlight project was created by? If so, then contact them and ask them if they used VS 2008 or if they used VS 2010 beta 1/2 (VS 2010 has a lot more and better support for silverlight so it's probable)
If they used VS 2010, then just go to the microsoft website and download you a copy... it's free(right now)
(and if you'll be doing much silverlight development, I'd recommend downloading it anyway. It has code completion for XAML!)
run devenv /setup
