I’m working in VB project with VS 2012 and after finish I try to add setup project.

I didn’t find it (because the Setup Project was discontinued after VS2010) so I switched to VS2010 but the problem is the project wont open and I get this message:

The selected file is a solution file but was created by a newer
version of this application and cannot be opened.

I tried this article : http://www.codeproject.com/Tips/80953/Converting-VS2010-Solution-to-VS2008
and tried to convert from 2012 to 2010 but same message appears.

    Open you solution file in notepad. Make 2 changes

    1. Replace "Format Version 12.00" with "Format Version 11.00" (without quotes.)
    2. Replace "# Visual Studio 2012" with "# Visual Studio 2010" (without quotes.)
