I have problem with my Visual. When I tried to create ASP.NET project, visual studio doesn't see any files in project. I see only No solution(0) . I create project in the same way like in this topic : Why my latest version Visual Studio 2022 does not contain any project under the solution in the Solution Explorer
I Tried to reinstall visual about 6 times. I don't know where is the problem.
the problem is that you are trying to use a version project framework that you don't installed yet.
it's seems to be that the solution is format and reinstall windows, easy ;)
I have Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate. Today when I opened it, it didn't load any of my solution's projects. Error message:
Unsupported
This version of Visual Studio is unable to open the following projects. The project types may not be installed or this version of Visual Studio may not support them.
For more information on enabling these project types or otherwise migrating your assets, please see the details in the "Migration Report" displayed after clicking OK.
- ETL_<Project name>, "<Project path></Project>.csproj"
Non-functional changes required
Visual Studio will automatically make non-functional changes to the following projects in order to enable them to open in Visual Studio 2013, Visual Studio 2012, and Visual Studio 2010 SP1. Project behavior will not be impacted.
- <Project name></Project>, "<Project path></Project>.sln"
These projects are of types Class Library and Console Application. If I try to create a new project, these types are listed, but when I create it I get message <Project path> cannot be opened because its project type (.csproj is not supported by this version of the application. To open it, please use a version that supports this type of project..
So, Visual Studio is telling me it doesn't support a project it just created?! GJ M$!!
Unfortunately I was unable to solve this. I ended up uninstalling VS Ultimate. Now I use VS Express for Desktop, and it works with my old projects.
My assumption is that something on Windows broke some part of VS. I should have tried to uninstall and reinstall it but didn't have the opportunity.
I have the same thing in a Hyper-V VM. After repair did not work, I deinstalled and reinstalled VS 2017. Same thing.
In the host I can still open the same project with VS, so it is not the project, but the VS install that has a problem.
It puts this in the migration log:
src\DTOWEB\project.json: Failed to migrate XProj project DTOWEB. Could not find project.json at C:\DTOWeb\DTOWEB7\src\DTOWEB\project.json.
I have a second VM that is x86 iso x64, and it can open the project without problems. So again, my conclusion is there is nothing wrong with the project.
After a Visual Studio 2017 (RC) installation from scratch, I can't find a standard list of templates. I'm specifically interested in the Console Application (C#) template and the Windows Form (C#) template. I'm pretty sure I'm missing one of the Individual Components. I'm not sure which one is supposed to be installed and I don't want to install all of them.
Please see my list with components installed.
You need to install it by launching the installer.
Click the "Workload" tab* in the upper-left, then check top right ".NET-Desktop Development" and hit install. Note it may modify your installation size (bottom-right), and you can install other Workloads, but you must install ".NET-Desktop Development" at least.
*as seen in comments below, users were not able to achieve the equivalent using the "Individual Components" tab.
If you have installed .NET desktop development and still you can't see the templates, then VS is probably getting the templates from your custom templates folder and not installed.
To fix that, copy the installed templates folder to custom.
This is your "installed" folder
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio
14.0\Common7\IDE\ProjectTemplates
This is your "custom" folder
C:\Users[your username]\Documents\Visual
Studio\2017\Templates\ProjectTemplates
Typically this happens when you are at the office and you are running VS as an administrator and visual studio is confused how to merge both of them and if you notice they don't have the same folder structure and folder names.. One is CSHARP and the other C#....
I didn't have the same problem when I installed VS 2017 community edition at home though. This happened when I installed visual studio 2017 "enterprise" edition.
I found the path and wrote it in the options
My personal experience was that I had installed the Team Foundation Server client for 2017 first (was using it as a Proof of Concept for our QA team, while I was still using VS2015), then followed it up with Installing Visual Studio 2017 later to begin development.
What I ended up with on my Start Menu was a Visual Studio 2017 and a Visual Studio 2017 (2). The Visual Studio 2017 (2) had all the templates I was missing. Following the steps found in the First answer to this question (which were clear and easy to follow) did not fix my issue. I had thought that launching the client would upgrade to the Development Client, but it did not. I renamed it to Visual Studio Professional, and now have everything I need. Not sure if this happens to anyone else, but it was what happened to me, so I hope this helps someone.
NOTE: this topic is about installation issues with MS project templates.
I came here via a search in Google, I was looking for a missing Template option in Visual Studio 2017 File menu: in VS-2015, it was Export to Template and I used it to add my own standard Project Items.
Meanwhile, I found an answer.. my issue was not related to default templates and it does not need install things. The option Export to Template has been moved to the VS-2017 Project menu !
I had to reinstall .NET desktop development (throught Workload tab), even button was showing: Modify
After that Visual C# selection appeared :)
(And now i can use Console APP Template)
In my case, I had all of the required features, but I had installed the Team Explorer version (accidentally used the wrong installer) before installing Professional.
When running the Team Explorer version, only the Blank Solution option was available.
The Team Explorer EXE was located in:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\TeamExplorer\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe"
Once I launched the correct EXE, Visual Studio started working as expected.
The Professional EXE was located in:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Professional\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe"
My C++ templates were there all along, it was my C# ones that were missing.
Similar to CSharpie, after trying many modify/re-installs, oddly the following finally worked for me :
- run the installer, but un-select 'Desktop development with C++'.
- allow installer to complete
- run the installer again, and select 'Desktop development with C++'.
- allow installer to complete

The Professional EXE was located in: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Professional\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe"
This solved my issue, and the reason was I had enterprise edition previously installed and then uninstalled and installed the professional edition. Team Explorer was not modified later when I moved to professional from enterprise edition.
I have only a computer with 32 bit based windows and can't run versions of monogame higher than 3.2. To install monogame 3.2 I need visual studio 2013 or 2010 but I have 2015 and have not enough space to install 2013. Is there a way to install the templates of monogame 3.2 on visual studio 2015
First off: you're not getting the new Content Pipeline, so you will have harder time with building content, especially as you can't offload that to XNA either. The templates have nothing too magical, and you could manage with normal projects, just adding the assembly references and the Game class.
Now, to answer the question... Looking at the installer source code, I think the following workaround might work:
Go to your Documents folder. There should already be a folder named Visual Studio 2015.
Create the following folder tree: Visual Studio 2013\Templates\ProjectTemplates\Visual C#
Run the installer. You should now be able to install Visual Studio 2013 templates.
Go to the folder you created in step 2. There should now be a folder named MonoGame.
Copy that folder to the Visual Studio 2015\Templates\ProjectTemplates\Visual C# folder.
You should now see the templates in Visual Studio 2015.
i'm newbie for mvc4 this is my first project (web app)
i get source project from my friends. they work normally.

Unsupported This version of Visual Studio does not have the following

and in solution explorer i can not load a project. at the project name it says incompatible
How resolve?
PS. I searched in google but I have not find a work solution. Sorry I'm not good at English :P
You need to install MVC4 on that machine first.
To download MVC4 set up Click here.
Did you try to open it in visual studio 2010?
and also try to Uninstall you Visual studio 2012 completely (save your projects if you want to). Then do a clean installation of Visual studio 2012.
