visual studio .net setup : "Project type is not supported by this installation" on ASP.NET 2 upgrade
A member of my team ran recently an ASP.NET 1.1 (c#) web app through the
upgrade process to convert it to an ASP.NET 2 solution. Most of the team can open the solution in VS.NET 2005 but when I try to on my PC it errors saying "The Project file 'Raise.csproj' cannot be opened. The Project type is not supported by this installation". I have ran both the KB article http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=8B05EE00-9554-4733-8725-3CA89DD9BFCA&displaylang=en and the setup at http://msdn.microsoft.com/asp.net/reference/infrastructure/wap/default.aspx for enabling WAP but I still get the error. I have a (basically) full install of VS.NET 2005 on the PC, the only thing it lacks is SQL Server 2005 Express since we have centralised SQL Servers for development. I've tried repairing the VS.NET install and then running the setups again, uninstalling the WAP support and re-adding and even re-installing VS.NET (and deleting all of its registry keys) and it still doesn't work. I also tried creating a new WAP project and it wouldn't do that; once I'd entered the path details and name for the new project it gave the same error giving the new filename I'd supplied before it had even created it fully. Is there anything I can do to make this project open? I had read about modifying the contents of the csproj file adding ProductVersion and SchemaVersion elements but those elements already exist in our file. Any help very much appreciated; I've wasted 3 days messing about with this already. Thanks Andy Andy Todd Technical Architect 3T Productions Ltd
Hi Andy,
Would you please tell us how your colleague upgraded that VS2003 web application project,-- upgrade it to a VS2005 web application project? If so, can you upgrade that VS2003 project to VS2005 web application project in your machine? By the way, the problem could be caused by the WAP hasn't been installed successfully in your machine, I suggest you create a new WAP in your VS2005 for a test. Thanks!

Hi
My colleague upgraded the web app to a VS2005 WAP; he opened the VS2003 solution using VS2005 and then agreed when it asked if he wanted to convert it. I cannot convert the project myself; if I try it errors stating that the project could not be converted and to check the Conversion Report. When I view the conversion report it basically just says "Conversion Settings; Solution File: C:\raise.sln" with no error messages. I've also tried creating a new WAP; when I do this I get the "Project type is not supported" error half way through it creating the project (i.e a few seconds after clicking the create button).

Hi Gary
Thanks for your assistance on this, however I've already removed and re-installed the patches several times. I've also removed and re-installed VS2005 before re-installing the patches! None of this made any difference :( I was wondering if there was anything I could check in the registry? I assume the project type is listed as a GUID in the registry? Would it be of any use checking that? Thanks Andy [quoted text, click to view] Gary Chang[MSFT] wrote:

[quoted text, click to view] >however I've already removed and re-installed the patches >several times. I've also removed and re-installed VS2005 >before re-installing the patches! None of this made >any difference :( That's strange. Have you compare you system with your colleague's, is there any difference with the installation of Visual Studio 2005? [quoted text, click to view] >I was wondering if there was anything I could check in the registry? >I assume the project type is listed as a GUID in the registry? This may help. I suggest you can use the Regmon(http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/Regmon.html) to monitor the VS2005 while this problem occurring. The regmon could be capture to which registry keys the programs are accessing, and the data that they attempt to read and write. The corresponding WAP project's GUID is : {349c5851-65df-11da-9384-00065b846f21} It should be existed in the following position: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\8.0\Projects\{349c5851-65 df-11da-9384-00065b846f21} Thanks!

I am also receiving the 'project type is not supported by this
installation' but under a slightly different set of circumstances. Circumstances in common: -I am working on a project that was upgraded from VS 2003 .Net 1.4 -The project was upgraded on a different machine -I'm desperate--this is wasting days of time Differences: -The project doesn't use WAP -The app is a vb.Net web site
OK, my bad. First, I thought WAP stood for 'wireless app protocol',
but it is really 'web app proj'. I got it to work here are the gotchas: --GOTCHA: I had to install the 'update to support web application projects' from MS in order to get the (I thought) the web project to open http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=8B05EE00-9554-4733-8725-3CA89DD9BFCA&displaylang=en After installing the web app still wouldn't open. I had seen another link so I went back an reread and found gotcha2 --GOTCHA2: After installing the above I also had to install a 'ms vs 2005 web application project' from http://msdn.microsoft.com/asp.net/reference/infrastructure/wap/default.aspx You would think that installing the first one would be enough, but it is not. My original mistake was thinking that both were the same thing, but they are not. [quoted text, click to view] hugedifference@gmail.com wrote:
