Visual Studio: COMException Opening Project File

Question

I am using VS 2008. When I opened the C # project file created by another developer, I received a System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException. I searched the website and found that the solution is to comment on the ProjectExtensions section of the project file. I did it and everything was fine. But, looking through the commented code, I do not understand what might cause this. Does anyone know why this could happen on my local machine? I have IIS 7 installed and working correctly.

  <ProjectExtensions>
    <VisualStudio>
      <FlavorProperties GUID="{349c5851-65df-11da-9384-00065b846f21}">
        <WebProjectProperties>
          <UseIIS>True</UseIIS>
          <AutoAssignPort>True</AutoAssignPort>
          <DevelopmentServerPort>62088</DevelopmentServerPort>
          <DevelopmentServerVPath>/</DevelopmentServerVPath>
          <IISUrl>http://localhost/</IISUrl>
          <NTLMAuthentication>False</NTLMAuthentication>
          <UseCustomServer>False</UseCustomServer>
          <CustomServerUrl>
          </CustomServerUrl>
          <SaveServerSettingsInUserFile>False</SaveServerSettingsInUserFile>
        </WebProjectProperties>
      </FlavorProperties>
    </VisualStudio>
  </ProjectExtensions>
