I’ve downloaded the .zip of this project here:

https://github.com/SteveDunn/Gleed2D

And I installed Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate Trial and installed XNA 4.0. But when I try to open the included Gleed2D_Tool.sln file I get the error message:

C:\Users\Admin\Desktop\SteveDunn-Gleed2D-0ffaae5\SteveDunn-Gleed2D-0ffaae5\src\Gleed2D.Ui\Gleed2D.csproj : error  : The project file 'C:\Users\Admin\Desktop\SteveDunn-Gleed2D-0ffaae5\SteveDunn-Gleed2D-0ffaae5\src\Gleed2D.Ui\Gleed2D.csproj' cannot be opened.

I’m stumped by the incredibly useless error message. Does anyone know what I need to do to get this to compile?

    The project types in the project files you listed are C# and XNA

    <ProjectTypeGuids>{6D335F3A-9D43-41b4-9D22-F6F17C4BE596};{FAE04EC0-301F-11D3-BF4B-00C04F79EFBC}</ProjectTypeGuids>

    Likely, as Mataniko suggested, you have either missed the C# installation as part of visual studio or XNA isn’t properly installed.

    There is a list of project type GUIDs at http://onlinecoder.blogspot.ca/2009/09/visual-studio-projects-project-type.html. Of course the list may not be complete because anybody can extend visual studio with a new project type with a fresh GUID.
