Problem:

Release 5.0.NET: Visual Studio 2005

There is an error message trying to open a Visual Studio project in regard with cblproj project type:

>Make sure the application for the project type (.cblproj) is installed<

What to do to prevent this?

Resolution:

Probably, there are some steps to ensure that COBOL cblproj types can be used again:

(1) Open a Net Express 5.0 command prompt and point to:

..\\Net Express 5.0\\PACKAGES

>regsvr32 cblprj.dll

to re-register cblprj.dll  (s. also KB article 23027)

(2) If this is not helpful:

he Visual Studio 2005 environment should be repaired, therefore point to Microsoft's common area to pick up devenv.exe:

..\\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\\Common7\\IDE

>devenv /ResetSkipPkgs

and after finishing try to open this project again.

(3) Lastly, for the Visual Studio 2005 environment as of b)

>devenv /setup
