VS 2008 MVC "Project Type not supported"

When trying to open some sample MVC .csproj or vb.proj project files, the error returned "The project file "\\home\username\Data\Visual Studio 2008...Commerce.MVC.Web.csproj" cannot be opened. The project type is not supported by this installation."


This can be fixed by editing the project file for the element . The guid should be changed to "{F85E285D-A4E0-4152-9332-AB1D724D3325};{349c5851-65df-11da-9384-00065b846f21};{fae04ec0-301f-11d3-bf4b-00c04f79efbc}"
