| Hi AllCan you helpI have a number of solutions that were created in visual studio 2008. I am setting up a new server which has only visual studio 2008r2 installed. I am trying to open the solution on this new server under R2 however i keep getting the a error message saying 'cannot be opened because its project type .dtproj is not supported by this version of the application. To open it please use a version that supports this type of project'.When i click OK the project opens but says unavailable. I have tried right clicking on it in visual studio to see if it gives the option to upgrade but it doesn't. How do i upgrade the solution?skhalil |

| I'm a bit confused since there is no Visual Studio 2008 R2. There IS Visual Studio 2003, 2008, 2010, 2012 and 2013. You should open BIDS from the Sql Server folder in your start menu and then open your project. |

| OK -- well Visual Studio does not support dtproj in all editions. However, if you use BIDS instead, you should be fine. |
