The following error is being returned when i try to open a colleagues MVC application in VS2012.

enter image description here

when i click on "OK" - i am not able to open any of the files within the environment.

I am able to open this project in other PCs where VS2012 is installed.

can anyone help me understand why this is happening and a resolution to this?

  • Is .NET 4.5 on your machine? Did you try the second radio button? – Dave May 15 '13 at 10:51
  • yes .net 4.5 was on my machine. A strange issue did occur when i attempted to create a new MVC application. MVC4 was not available as an option. The 2nd radio button - did not work either – MMC May 15 '13 at 10:57
  • Sounds like your installation maybe faulty. Reinstall MVC4, create a new MVC4 project and target it for 4.5. Do you have any issues with other 4.5 projects or only this project? – Dave May 15 '13 at 10:58
  • I believe so - i just did not want to waste my time uninstalling and then re-installing - if i thought there was a quick fix for this. - this is happening in VS2012 Ultimate f.y.i – MMC May 15 '13 at 10:59
  • This is our first movement into MVC .net4.5 projects - we used VS2010 before this. – MMC May 15 '13 at 11:02
  • i re-installed VS2012 with MVC4.. all 'seems' ok and is playing.. i'm just thinking because i installed MVC4 on VS2010 - did it skip over its installation when i upgraded to VS2012 - therefore not available to me. anyhows this is now resolved. Thanks Dave – MMC May 15 '13 at 14:56
  • I moved my comments to an answer. I actually have no idea why this was the case I'm afraid! – Dave May 15 '13 at 15:49

I have no problem with VS2012 and MVC4. If you can't even create a new MVC4 project, then the you know the fault is not with the project your colleague wrote but something with your current setup.

You may be able to just redownload / install MVC4 and Visual Studio!

just check once again about .net4.5 and mvc4 is properly installed or not.try your friends laptop who installed vs2012 with the same project.if sucessfull then there is a fault in your installation.
