I have the latest VS 2012 RC and when I try to open an existing soulution that was written by another programmer in VS 2012, it says that the files csproj and sqlproj are incompatible with the version I am running. Any ideas why?

  • Please provide more information. For instance, which version of VS2012 did the other developer use? RC? Which editions are you using? Ultimate? – John Saunders Aug 10 '12 at 17:48
  • I am using ultimate RC; I would assume that I should be able to open every type file. I can open it on my laptop which has Dreamspark VS2012 pro. I don't want to put that on the company computer. The only answer I get from him is VS2012, he doesn't know if its Ultimate, etc. – codehammer Aug 10 '12 at 18:12
  • Did you upgrade from beta to RC? – Andrew Clear Aug 10 '12 at 18:14
  • Ask him to use Help->About and let you know. At this late stage in the development of the product, I strongly doubt that this is a problem that happens to everyone, or every time. – John Saunders Aug 10 '12 at 18:18
  • When I open my version it doesn't say that its ultimate. But that is the package i downloaded. – codehammer Aug 10 '12 at 18:21
  • Problem solved, my company has finally ordered a full version. – codehammer Oct 24 '12 at 01:05

Install the Sql Server Data Tools for VS. Available from the Web Platform Installer or the SQL Server installer.

  • Download for SSDT can be found [here](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/data/hh297027). I couldn't find it on WPI. – Beytan Kurt May 11 '15 at 07:27
