Major Problem

I am totally stressed out about Visual Studio

Firstly, I get this error when I try to load my project file:

"The project file cannot be opened. The project type is not supported by this installation."

Afterwards I search many websites on how to fix the problem, and I tried some solutions but to no avail. In one solution in tells me to

Open a VS 2005 Command Prompt,Enter the following command:regsvr32.exe "%vs80comntools%\..\IDE\projectaggregator.dll", and finallyExecute%vs80comntools%\..\IDE\devenv /setup (if you are using c# Express), or instead, execute%vs80comntools%\..\IDE\VCSExpress /setup (if you are using VS 2005).

but when I try the second step it tells me:

"The module "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE\ProjectAggregator.dll" was loaded but the call to DllRegisterServer failed with error code 0x80070005. For more information about this problem, search online using the error code as a search term."

I tried searching for the error code, but again with no success.

Could someone please help me out? Many thanks.

Hi,

Open the run-dialog (start-->Run) type andtry to run the following command:

devenv /ResetSkipPkgs

It might be a Web Application Project or a Web Deployment Project. Try getting these additional project types from Microsoft.http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/asp.net/aa336618.aspx

I have tried typing devenv /ResetSkipPkgs but it doesnt work.

<> Plus, I cannot download such large files on my computer since I dont have broadband.

<>Any other advice? Thanks.

I assume that you got this project from someone/somewhere, you did not build it yourself, right? If indeed it is a Web Application Project you need to download the appropriate software to use it - or recreate it manually as project type your installation supports. You can always just create a new project and then include the various source files. If it's a VS 2005 .csproj-file, you can also inspect it with notepad or whatever and the dependencies are pretty much self-explanatory.
