I want to fix an OxyPlot bug. Upon opening OxyPlot.sln with Visual Studio 2013 Express, the following problems appear. This support link suggests I need Portable Library Tools 2 but that software is meant for Visual Studio 2010. Installing it did not make a difference for Visual Studio 2013 Express. How do I get past this problem?

The first of the projects that will not open is OxyPlot.csproj which sounds essential. The bug I want to fix is in heat maps and might be common to multiple platforms. My target is WPF and I note that OxyPlot.Wpf.csproj is listed as one of the projects where there was no problem opening in VS 2013.

Please stop using Express edition and use Community Edition instead.

Community edition has identical features than Professional edition(see https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/news/vs2013-community-vs.aspx).
