title: The project type is not supported by this installation
body: <p>I am trying to use VS2005 Profession Edition (with C# installed) to open a Solution file that includes a WebSite that I was told was created using VS2005, when I get this error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>---------------------------
  Microsoft Visual Studio
  ---------------------------
  The project file 'C:\path\SolutionFolder\tedWeb\tedWeb.csproj' cannot be opened.
  
  The project type is not supported by this installation.
  ---------------------------
  OK   Cancel   Help   
  ---------------------------
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The Solution file refrerences the tedWeb WebSite that I speak of:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Project("{FAE04EC0-301F-11D3-BF4B-00C04F79EFBC}") = "tedWeb", "tedWeb\tedWeb.csproj", "{D6FA0976-F400-47A2-AE02-AD2E8BE838C3}"
      ProjectSection(WebsiteProperties) = preProject
          SccProjectName = ""$/webDev", BAAAAAAA"
          SccAuxPath = ""
          SccLocalPath = ".."
          SccProvider = "MSSCCI:Microsoft Visual SourceSafe"
          Debug.AspNetCompiler.Debug = "True"
          Release.AspNetCompiler.Debug = "False"
          VWDPort = "2136"
      EndProjectSection
  EndProject
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and there is a tedWeb.csproj file in the subfolder "tedWeb" below the solution file with a Product version of "8", which I believe is = 8. Here is a snippet of the csproj file.</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;Project DefaultTargets="Build" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003"&gt;
    &lt;PropertyGroup&gt;
      &lt;Configuration Condition=" '$(Configuration)' == '' "&gt;Debug&lt;/Configuration&gt;
      &lt;Platform Condition=" '$(Platform)' == '' "&gt;AnyCPU&lt;/Platform&gt;
      &lt;ProductVersion&gt;8.0.50727&lt;/ProductVersion&gt;
      &lt;SchemaVersion&gt;2.0&lt;/SchemaVersion&gt;
      &lt;ProjectGuid&gt;{D6FA0976-F400-47A2-AE02-AD2E8BE838C3}&lt;/ProjectGuid&gt;
      &lt;ProjectTypeGuids&gt;{349c5851-65df-11da-9384-00065b846f21};{fae04ec0-301f-11d3-bf4b-00c04f79efbc}&lt;/ProjectTypeGuids&gt;
      &lt;OutputType&gt;Library&lt;/OutputType&gt;
      &lt;AppDesignerFolder&gt;Properties&lt;/AppDesignerFolder&gt;
      &lt;RootNamespace&gt;tedWeb&lt;/RootNamespace&gt;
      &lt;AssemblyName&gt;tedWeb&lt;/AssemblyName&gt;
      &lt;SccProjectName&gt;"%24/tedWeb_dev", PPAAAAAA&lt;/SccProjectName&gt;
      &lt;SccLocalPath&gt;..&lt;/SccLocalPath&gt;
      &lt;SccAuxPath&gt;
      &lt;/SccAuxPath&gt;
      &lt;SccProvider&gt;MSSCCI:Microsoft Visual SourceSafe&lt;/SccProvider&gt;
    &lt;/PropertyGroup&gt;

  <p>I have C# installed as I mentioned. I also set up the folder in IIS as an application using .NET 2.0...</p>
  
  <p>When was the "Web Application" project type introduced? Is this an issue where I need to install a SP or add on to VS2005?</p>
