As already reported the error: Have you checked that all Visual Studio components are installed? Re-run the setup and make sure you select the Finish option.



It is possible to install VS without support for C # projects, so it might be missing here.

VS 2008 should be able to open VS 2005 solutions seamlessly (wizard should convert VS 2005 solution to VS 2008, need to pop up). You probably need to provide more information if you want to solve your problem (for example, is it VS Professional or Express?)
