Good evening,
I have created a Web Form using Visual Studio 2022, and I have created a Web Setup project to help our customers to install the site on their server. I used the official extension that allows to create Setup projects in VS2022 (Microsoft Visual Studio Installer Projects); everything worked fine until some days ago, when VS2022 started to show the following error when trying to load the installer project:
"Unable to open project .../Setup.vdproj".
This is the error I am getting when I try to open/create a Web Setup project
I tried to open it also with VS2019, which I still had installed on my computer, but I got the same error.
At the beginning I thought it was an issue related to the project (maybe for some reasons some files had been corrrupted), so I tried to create a new Web Setup project, both on VS2022 and VS2019. Again, the same error appeared, on both versions of VS. At this point I tried to load the already existing project on another computer, and on the other computer everything worked perfectly, the project was loaded immediatly and no issues have been detected. I tried to unistall and re-install the Microsoft Visual Studio Installer Projects extension, it didn't solve the problem; I tried to repair VS2022, it didn't solve the problem; I tried to completely uninstall VS2022 and VS2019 and re-install only VS2022, and guess what? It didn't solve the problem.
Does anyone know how to fix this problem, and what is the reason why I am unable to neither load nor create Web Setup projects?
Thank you, Giacomo
