Cant compile trinity core no matter what, I GIVE UP!!!!

[stubbsy27993]

Ok so the name says it all.
Im trying to compile Trinity Core exept i have a problem.

When i got into C:Trinity/win and try to compile TrinityCore&Script VC90 it wont let me

I used Microsoft visual Basic 2008 Express Edition, and get an error saying something like
\\win/game.vcproj cant be opened because the format isnt supported by this version of VS

So then i tried Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Express edition and it says the file or folder is to old and needs to be converted, so i convert it, save a backup and it says conversion failed.

I dont understand why its not working though, i compiled arcemu on C++ 2010, but i cant compile MaNGOS or Trinity Core wtf??
SO does ANYBODY have any idea how to fix this?
I realy want to compile my own trinity core and i cant find ANYTHING ANYWHERE on the net about this problem.

+Rep+Rep+Rep+Rep+Rep+Rep+Rep+Rep+Rep+Rep for anyone who helps

Paste the exact format of the error you are getting

[stubbsy27993]

Microsoft Visual Basic 2008 Express edition
'F:Trinity\win\VC90\game.vcproj' cannot be opened because its project type (.vcproj) is not supported by this version of Visual Studio
To open it please use a version that supports this project type
## well its game.vcproj and any other that ends with vcproj wich is all of the files

Microsoft visual C++ Express
## It comes up with "welcome to Visual Studio Conversion wizard" "The solution or project you are opening must be converted. It was either created in a previous version of visual studio or it requires an older version of a program youve installed on your computer." blah blah click next to continue
If the solution or project is under source control, it will be checked out automatically during the conversion. Be sure the correct Source Control Plug In is active, and no files are exclusively checked out by other users.

If the solution or project is not under source control, please ensure that all files have read/write permissions.

For Office projects, the Upgrade Wizard will modify your project to target the version of Office you have installed. If you do not want to change the version of Office this project targets, cancel the wizard and clear the "Always upgrade to installed version of Office" option on the "Office Tools" node of the Tools | Options dialog.
## not sure if thats relevant, click finish to convert.
some errors occured during conversion
Then on the error report it says none of it has to be converted and then it says non has been converted
Then in the solution explorer it says theres the file folders but nothing ther so i cant compile because theres nothing to compile

Try reinstalling Microsoft Visual C++, and delete the source, and getting it again. compile again.

You said you "re-installed", but did you un-install the right way? You have to make sure there are no files left over after un-install. That means in XP, you have to go in to "Documents and Settings" and then under All_users and/or Administrator and/or username and look in the "Application Data" & "Local Settings" folders for any trace of the VC program & delete it. Also look in any "microsoft" folders for any VC stuff needing removal (or you could just do a system wide search for "VC"). If you have Vista, there is also folders like those that you have to look in. I don't know about Win7 but it probably does too. Also make sure there is no leftovers in the "program files" folder. After deleting all those, THEN restart your computer & THEN re-install.
Also, if you DO have Win7, are you trying to compile as X86 (win32) or X64? because Visual Studio express does NOT support x64 unless you installed the "extra" x64 stuff.
Beyond that, there really isn't enough info for me to come up with any other scenario.

Hi, you wen compile theat core ushe the oficial repro or ushe other??? I ask this because it is possible if you don't ushe the oficial repro, your repro don't have full supoort for win build. And this error 'F:Trinity\win\VC90\game.vcproj' cannot be opened because its project type (.vcproj) is not supported by this version of Visual Studio confirm what.
