I retrieved a C++ VS project from 2011 and it has a Install-win32.vdproj I guess it has to be the file I need to open in order to build the project.
Unfortunately Visual Studio 2017 seems not to recognize this kind of file. Is there any ways to interpret it or convert it?
For VS2017, use the Microsoft Visual Studio Installer Projects. Download link is below. Be sure to close Visual Studio before running the installer:

I am trying to compile the TightVNC from the source code.
Here is my system details:
Windows 10
SDK 8.1
When i build the project it throw error about the folder or file not found. I try to install and include the files but it won't worked.
sidenote: I am not a C++ developer, i have to compile it from source code.
Thanks in advance.
The error
RC1015 can't open include file afxres.h
seems to generate from project because it requires the header file from MFC. As far as I understand, visual studio 2015 default setup does not install Visual C++ MFC package. Therefore you need to modify the Visual Studio 2015 setup and add the MFC.
Please close VS2015 and Go To
Control Panel->Programs and Features->
Microsoft Visual Studio <Professional/Enterprise>->
Change->Modify->Add Microsoft Foundation Classes
Then re-open visual studio 2015 and re-build the solution.
I inherited a project that was created in Visual Studio 2015 with SQL Server Data Tools version 14.
I'm running VS 2017 version 15.6.0 with SQL Server Data Tools 15.1.61801.210
When I try to open the solution it just fails with the below error message. What do I need to do in order to "upgrade" the solution so I can work with it?

Ended up the SSDT integration elements hadn't installed. Once I did that I could right-click on the project in the solution explorer and reload it, and then it started working.
I have C++ VS2008 project and my lovely IDE VS13. How can I work into VS13, but compile and debug project like in would be VS08. When I open VS2008 *.sln files that wrote to me about one-way upgrade, and how you i guess you understand, project after open in vs2013 don't open in vs2008.
For now, I use VS13 like notepad then copy all files text to alt+tab opening VS 2008 IDE and there are run project. And again work in VS13.

Visual Studio 2008's mainstream support ended in April 2013, while Visual Studio 2013 was released in Jan 2014. That means Visual Studio 2013 will not support Visual Studio 2008 bits, so not a surprise if native multi targeting does not show v80.
I don't think you can easily get side by side, as VS2008 is too old, and its C++ project is not even MSBuild script. Once converted to VS2013, there is no way back.
Why cannot you just let VS2008 go? I guess that's why you get so many down votes.
You can't convert the solution to Visual Studio 2013 and still open it in Visual Studio 2008. You can, however, tell Visual Studio 2013 to use the Visual Studio 2008 compiler.
To do that, convert your solution to Visual Studio 2013 (don't forget to keep a copy of the original file, just in case), then open the project properties, go to the General options and select the Visual Studio 2008 platform toolset.
So,I am trying to port some old code to newer version of vs so I imported the sln of the project into my vs 2013 and I get this error and some others and I have gone through some of the other questions on this forum.So I understand that this has something to do with MFC(microsoft foundation classes) but all of them talk about vs 2010 express edition which doesn't include MFC module.I am currently using vs 2013 community edition which is supposed to have full feature access of vs.Still I get this error so please help!!
Thanks!
While installing Visual Studio 2013, you need to select the MFC option:
