You say your VS 2003 is "fully" installed, but your installed products list
says VB, C# and J# are missing, which is why you get the error when you
attempt to open a C# project.
Have you tried Control Panel->Add Remove Programs->VS2003->Add or Remove
Features to see what is listed there under Language Tools? If C#, J# and VB
are not listed, you have a failed install. If they are there, can you select
them to run from disk?
Alternatively, have you tried a repair install?
If none of these procedures help you, I'd suggest a complete uninstall of VS
2003 and the .NET Framework v1.1 using these procedures:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/824642 If this is the Enterprise Architect Edition (which I don't have here), are
there any options for the role
you install for? Did you select a general developer role (if available)?
