Visual C# Express 2010 Importing a project from Visual Studio

I am trying to load a project in my installation of Visual C# 2010 Express. The project was created by another groupmate using Visual Studio 2010. It's a stub project (no actual code). When I try to load it, I get the "The project type is not supported by this installation" error, and the above SO solution didn't help because I don't know think Express has the command line thing. I tried this SO solution but it didn't help me at all.

How can I get the project to load?

P.S. There's no complicated unit-testing in the project. It's literally a stub with no important code in it.

Edit: Here is a csproj file, as requested:

(this is the file I was given (just did git reset HEAD --hard). I did try swapping ProjectGuid as suggested, though.

Your project guid types suggest this project is a C# Web Application. If you have installed Visual C# Express is possible it will not open a project of type Web Application.

Try installing Visual Web Express instead.

VS Express doesn't support unit test projects. If you want to load this project you shour change ProjectGuid value in .csproj file to {C1F8CC60-8F0A-4BAA-BC5B-B3603F662F26}

You may also install some plugins for VS to run tests.

Do you have SP1 installed? The behavior of the express editions, at least to me, appear to be better after SP1. So you have tried to open just the project file, not the solution? What type of project was originally used to create the stub code? It may make a difference to the express edition.
