Error opening project file in VS2012

Question

The following error is being returned when i try to open a colleagues MVC application in VS2012.

when i click on "OK" - i am not able to open any of the files within the environment.

I am able to open this project in other PCs where VS2012 is installed.

can anyone help me understand why this is happening and a resolution to this?

Answer 1

I have no problem with VS2012 and MVC4. If you can't even create a new MVC4 project, then the you know the fault is not with the project your colleague wrote but something with your current setup.

You may be able to just redownload / install MVC4 and Visual Studio!

Answer 2

just check once again about .net4.5 and mvc4 is properly installed or not.try your friends laptop who installed vs2012 with the same project.if sucessfull then there is a fault in your installation.

Answer 3

Try a repair of VS seems something strange appened
