Can't open the VSVim project

Question

I have a clean install of Visual Studio 2010 with C# and F# installed and I am getting the following error when I try to open the solution cloned from github.

D:\projects\VsVim\VsVim\VsVim.csproj : error : The project file 'D:\projects\VsVim\VsVim\VsVim.csproj' cannot be opened.

The project type is not supported by this installation.

Is there a way to get more information about what exactly I am missing so that I can install the components?

Answer 1

You probably need to install the Visual Studio 2010 SDK.

Answer 2

Noah is correct that the most likely problem is you need to install the Visual Studio SDK. The full steps to getting VsVim to open and compile are the following (taken from the README.txt file in the enlistment).

1. Install the Visual Studio SDK
2. Run the script Populate-References.ps1 from the enlistment root directory
3. Open the Solution.
