Missing csproj

Hi. Im trying to get up to speed with Netduino plus. When i try to create a plus project (NetduinoPlusApplication7 is latest try) Project directory is C:\<main dev root>\Netduino\Dev\ I get The project file "C:\Users\<name>\AppData\Local\Temp\zezhvybe.zeb\Temp\NetduinoPlusApplication7.csproj" cannot be opened The project type is not supported by this installation C:\Users\<name>\AppData\Local\Temp\zezhvybe.zeb is empty Searching the computer for NetduinoPlusApplication7.csproj finds nothing. Interesting, that Temp\..\Temp path... When i try to open BlinkingLed.sln, i get One or more projects in the solution were not loaded correctly. Please see the Output Window for details. C:\<main dev root>\Netduino\Projects\BlinkingLed\BlinkingLed\BlinkingLed.csproj : error : The project file 'C:\<main dev root>\Netduino\Projects\BlinkingLed\BlinkingLed\BlinkingLed.csproj' cannot be opened. ----- BlinkingLed.sln -------------------------------------------- Microsoft Visual Studio Solution File, Format Version 11.00 # Visual C# Express 2010 Project("{FAE04EC0-301F-11D3-BF4B-00C04F79EFBC}") = "BlinkingLed", "BlinkingLed\BlinkingLed.csproj", "{F61364A5-B5D5-4FD4-98A7-64BF4C898FBF}" EndProject Global GlobalSection(SolutionConfigurationPlatforms) = preSolution Debug|Any CPU = Debug|Any CPU Release|Any CPU = Release|Any CPU EndGlobalSection GlobalSection(ProjectConfigurationPlatforms) = postSolution {F61364A5-B5D5-4FD4-98A7-64BF4C898FBF}.Debug|Any CPU.ActiveCfg = Debug|Any CPU {F61364A5-B5D5-4FD4-98A7-64BF4C898FBF}.Debug|Any CPU.Build.0 = Debug|Any CPU {F61364A5-B5D5-4FD4-98A7-64BF4C898FBF}.Debug|Any CPU.Deploy.0 = Debug|Any CPU {F61364A5-B5D5-4FD4-98A7-64BF4C898FBF}.Release|Any CPU.ActiveCfg = Release|Any CPU {F61364A5-B5D5-4FD4-98A7-64BF4C898FBF}.Release|Any CPU.Build.0 = Release|Any CPU {F61364A5-B5D5-4FD4-98A7-64BF4C898FBF}.Release|Any CPU.Deploy.0 = Release|Any CPU EndGlobalSection GlobalSection(SolutionProperties) = preSolution HideSolutionNode = FALSE EndGlobalSection EndGlobal ----- BlinkingLed.csproj ----------------------------------------- <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <Project DefaultTargets="Build" ToolsVersion="4.0" xmlns="http://schemas.micro.../msbuild/2003"> <PropertyGroup> <AssemblyName>BlinkingLed</AssemblyName> <OutputType>Exe</OutputType> <RootNamespace>BlinkingLed</RootNamespace> <ProjectTypeGuids>{b69e3092-b931-443c-abe7-7e7b65f2a37f};{FAE04EC0-301F-11D3-BF4B-00C04F79EFBC}</ProjectTypeGuids> <ProductVersion>9.0.21022</ProductVersion> <SchemaVersion>2.0</SchemaVersion> <ProjectGuid>{F61364A5-B5D5-4FD4-98A7-64BF4C898FBF}</ProjectGuid> <TargetFrameworkVersion>v4.1</TargetFrameworkVersion> <NetMfTargetsBaseDir Condition="'$(NetMfTargetsBaseDir)'==''">$(MSBuildExtensionsPath32)\Microsoft\.NET Micro Framework\</NetMfTargetsBaseDir> </PropertyGroup> <PropertyGroup Condition=" '$(Configuration)|$(Platform)' == 'Debug|AnyCPU' "> <DebugSymbols>true</DebugSymbols> <DebugType>full</DebugType> <Optimize>false</Optimize> <OutputPath>bin\Debug\</OutputPath> <DefineConstants>DEBUG;TRACE</DefineConstants> <ErrorReport>prompt</ErrorReport> <WarningLevel>4</WarningLevel> </PropertyGroup> <PropertyGroup Condition=" '$(Configuration)|$(Platform)' == 'Release|AnyCPU' "> <DebugType>pdbonly</DebugType> <Optimize>true</Optimize> <OutputPath>bin\Release\</OutputPath> <DefineConstants>TRACE</DefineConstants> <ErrorReport>prompt</ErrorReport> <WarningLevel>4</WarningLevel> </PropertyGroup> <Import Project="$(NetMfTargetsBaseDir)$(TargetFrameworkVersion)\CSharp.Targets" /> <ItemGroup> <Compile Include="Properties\AssemblyInfo.cs" /> <Compile Include="BlinkingLed.cs" /> </ItemGroup> <ItemGroup> <Reference Include="Microsoft.SPOT.Hardware" /> <Reference Include="Microsoft.SPOT.Native" /> <Reference Include="Microsoft.SPOT.Net" /> <Reference Include="SecretLabs.NETMF.Hardware" /> <Reference Include="SecretLabs.NETMF.Hardware.NetduinoPlus" /> <Reference Include="System" /> </ItemGroup> </Project> ------------------------------------------------------------------ My suspicion is that there are reference problems, e.g. NetMfTargetsBaseDir not defined The environment: Windows 7 64 bit VS2010 pro SP1rel C:\Users\<name>\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Templates\ProjectTemplates\Visual C#\Micro Framework has app, mini and plus Im using VS2010 as admin, Micro framework 4.1 QFE1 reinstalled 3 times Netduino SDK (netduinosdk_64bit.exe downloaded 1/8/12, size 1762kb) reinstalled 3 times Any help would be appreciated RSM

Issue solved. The problem was .NET Micro Framework. Uninstalled, then downloaded and installed from http://www.netduino....rameworkSDK.msi Now I can open projects. The clue was that the former install was at c:\Microsoft .NET Micro Framework and was missing e.g. tools etc. The new one is at c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft .NET Micro Framework

Hi rsm, Thanks for the update. Glad it's working for you now. Welcome to the Netduino community, Chris
