Stop displaying "Unsupported .vdproj" warning

Question

I am working on an older project that contains .vdproj installer projects and am using Visual Studio 2013.

The problem is that for every .vdproj project I receive a warning – thus, after opening the solution, I have to close about 50 warnings.

Is there a way how to stop displaying those warnings?

Edit:

The same issue arises with Visual Studio 2015.

VS 2013 Update 4 did not resolve the issue for me, but the installer-projects extension that krill-a mentions did. – J0e3gan Jun 25 '15 at 18:07
Also, per my edit to the question, the same problem arises with VS 2015, and MS has released an [updated extension to similarly address the issue](https://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/003f3135-bbca-4eb2-951d-88820065a124). – J0e3gan Jun 25 '15 at 18:08

@krill-a's answer regarding VS 2013 is spot-on.

Since the same problem occurs in VS 2015, note that Microsoft has released an updated extension to solve the problem in it.

Like the VS 2013 installer-projects extension, you can download the updated installer-projects extension from the Visual Studio Gallery to add support for .vdproj projects in VS 2015.

For Visual Studio 2019 (possibly 2017) you need to add the installer extension.

In Visual Studio:
