MVC3 installation does not work on at least two PCs

Question

I installed RTM MVC3 and using VS2010 to create an empty project (or load an existing one), I get the following serious error:

The project type is not supported by this installation.

This happens on both of my development machines. I tried using all the usual suggestions, such as / resetsippkgs and / setup command line arguments for devenv.exe. They do not affect.

Any ideas?

Answer 1

Nevermind Turns out you need to install "Visual Web Developer", which is a flag option in the VS2010 installer.

Answer 2

You need to install MVC3 ( http://www.asp.net/mvc/mvc3 ).

Answer 3

This problem may also occur if you install VS2010 after installing MVC3. Uninstall MVC3 (via add / remove programs) and reinstall it to fix it.
