I was trying to download some ASP.NET MVC Sample application to learn MVC. I tried Music Store and TownHall but they wont open in my VS2008.So I tried the common Nerddinner 1.0 but it gives error "The project Type is not supported by this installation" . I tried the 3rd Method suggested in the following post

Can't open NerdDinner project in vs2008

This is about changing the project type GUIDS.Now the project loads but when I run it throws an exception

<add assembly="System.Web.Mvc, Version=1.0.0.0,     Culture=neutral,PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" />

I presume this is happening because the Nerddinner 1.0 is for MVC 1.0 and I have MVC 2.0 installed. How do I proceed now. I have spent a lot of time trying to get an MVC application working on my PC. I am happy if I can get any properly architected , MVC application of medium to high complexity to work on my PC.

thanks

I had this problem after reloading a new dev machine a few months ago. I think I was still able to install MVC v1 side by side to fix...

You can use the free MVC project upgrade tool that I wrote a while ago. Download it, run it, and point it at your NerdDinner solution. It will convert the project from MVC 1.0 to MVC 2.

Other random notes:

  • MVC 1.0 and MVC 2 are side-by-side compatible.
  • There is a built-in upgrade wizard in Visual Studio 2010 that will convert MVC 1.0 VS2008 projects to MVC 2 VS2010 projects.
