how do I open a solution that has a vdproj in it in VS2010?

Question

I think the correct answer is "just open it" but I can't because of this error message:

error when opening

I'm using VS 2010 10.0.40219.1 SP1Rel. Is there something I have to install to get it to open solutions that use vdproj files?

(changing over to a Wix file is not an option)

You're not using [VS express](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1670312/trouble-with-visual-studio-file-extensions-vdproj) are you? — Blorgbeard, Aug 21 '14 at 01:01
No. I found the SO post related to that before posting here. — jcollum, Aug 21 '14 at 15:20

The solution to this was to re-install Visual Studio 2010. Lame, but it worked. I looked for a config utility for the VS2010 install (the usual Repair, Remove, Configure dialog) but couldn't find it.
