I'm trying to open a silverlight project in Visual Studio 2008 and getting this error.
The project type is not supported by this installation.
Let me tell you I did installed:
- VS2008
- SP1
- Silverlight Tools 3
- Silverlight SDK
- Silverlight
And they were installed in the sequence they are mentioned here. Still I'm getting the same error.
Adding some more details which might be helpful in identifying the cause:
When I try to create a new silverlight project it gives me error "Object reference not set to an instance of an object". And shows "…project creation failed."
I tried unistalling all of the things and installing them again. It really took a lot of time but didn't solved my problem.
Any help appreciated.

Open the project.csproj file with another editor, delete whatever you find between
