MVC project on VS2010 error : The project type is not supported by this installation

Question

I\'m trying to open MVC project using VS2010. I\'m opening this project from TFS server but I\'m failed to open it and getting error

Answer 1

I got this error when I forgot to select the Web Developer feature in the Visual Studio setup. Unfortunately, the error you mentioned is the only error you get when Visual Studio 2010 is installed without this feature. You can install the Web Developer feature using the Windows control panel.

By popular demand (7+ and counting), I'm placing part of CodingWithSpike's comment here. Specifically, the procedure to explicitly add Visual Web Designer to VS install.

• open Control Panel
• select Programs and Features (or Add/Remove Programs)
• choose Visual Studio
• click "Uninstall/Change"
• this opens the VS installer in maintenance mode.
• Click "Next" once
• Click "Add or Remove Features"
• Checkbox "Visual Web Designer"
• click Update button.
• Enjoy having a working product!
