Re: The project type is not supported by this installation. 

  Dear all,

i'm working with vs 2008 and windows 7, i have installed visual webgui and try it for more than 6 days, but now when i try to open existing projects or create a new vwg project i have an error :  

 

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

until yesterday, all was fine, i tried many solutions  reinstall vwg, clean, reinstall vs 2008, install visuel web developper 2008, install the sdk ... but the problem persists
 
have you an idea ?
 
Thanks for all,
 
Kamal.

Re: The project type is not supported by this installation. 

Hi Kamal,

The two most common causes for this problem are:

  1. Missing administrative rights when installing Visual WebGui - Make sure you "Install as Administrator". It is not enough in some cases to log in using an administrator account, you have to make sure you have full administrative rights.
  2. Missing Web Developer from Visual Studio installation - This I imagine is not the case for you, as you were using Visual WebGui just a while ago. Unless you have made changes to your Visual Studio installation and in that case, please see here.

Hope this helps,

Palli

 Dear Palli,

Thanks a lot for your responce, now i can open a visual webgui projet (i use this command to fix the problem : devenv /resetskippkgs), but i have a new kind of problem, i can modfy the code and run the project but when i try to open an interface (ex : index.vb)  i have a blank page titled index.vb [Design], the webgui controls exist in toolbar but i can't add any control to my page. 

Thanks

Re: The project type is not supported by this installation. 

Hi Kamal189,

Can you explain further what exact steps you take when you say you want to open an interface ?

Normally, in Visual WebGui, you create forms or usercontrols and drop the controls from the toolbar to the design area of those. You can create inherited forms and usercontrols and you can implement an interface on either of them, but in order to drag your controls from the toolbar and drop them onto the designer area, you need to use Form or UserControl or derivatives.

In case you have not already, I suggest you view the getting started videos and articles here, one of which will show you how to create a Visual WebGui application.

Hope this helps,

Palli
