Unable to open solution in visual studio 2005

i came across this weird problem and don't seem to find a solution for it. the problem is....

my OS crashed and i had to reinstall XP and VS 2005 again....but when i tried to open my solution (which was created using visual studio 2005) in VS 2005 it gives me the following error:

The application for p开发者_如何学Pythonroject 'D:\VSS\SomeSolution\SomeProj\SomeEntityLayer\SomeEntityLayer.csproj' is not installed.

Make sure the application for the project type (.csproj) is installed.

Please help

Did you check that the project exists in the location mentioned. I think it is something to do with the folder where your project is locatted.

Got the problem,

Visual studio 2005 was not installed properly with the required components. Once i did that everything went perfect !

thanks any ways!! tc : )
