“The project type is not supported by this installation” error when creating any SharePoint project in VS2010

When you are trying to create some SharePoint project based on SharePoint templates in Visual Studio 2010 you can meet some problems.

You are creating new project and as a result it returns you error: “The project type is not supported by this installation”. And without any additional information. It is a very strange. Why Visual Studio showing things, what you can’t use?

As a result of creating project we have only empty project folder and what is more strange we haven’t .csproj file what Visual Studio trying to open.

I’ve tried to install SharePoint 2010 SDK, but it doesn’t helped. Actual problem was on, that Visual Studio wasn’t installed correctly, but without any error or warning messages.

Solution:
To solve this problem you should run Visual Studio 2010 Repair setup (Repair/Reinstall option).
