I have builded a solution in VS2003. Now i want to migrate to VS2003. I know that when I open the VS2003 solution in VS2005 the IDE will convert the solution to VS2005.
But I am getting the following error window when I click on convert in the conversion wizard:
e:\Test.vcproj can not be opened because it's project type(vc.proj) is not supported by the version of the application.to open this use a version that support this
How can I resolve this?
Any help is greately appreciated.
I'm not 100% sure of the error in your case, but the only time I've seen errors like this it was because I did not have the appropriate components of Visual Studio installed. Make sure that your installation is configured with all the components you need and retry. :)
Your installed version of VS2005 does not include C/C++ support. Reinstall VS2005 and make sure you tick the appropriate checkboxes in the Setup, then you will be able to open .vcproj files.
Try running this command using Visual Studio 2005 Command Prompt (if you're using Vista, make sure you "Run as Administrator":
devenv.exe /resetskippkgs
