  1. Clone a clean copy of HPG from Github
  2. Open VS 2017 Community
  3. Go to open the .sln file. Oops! There isn't one.
  4. As a fallback, go to open the .csproj file. Visual Studio says it can't be opened, and to check the upgrade log for details. The upgrade log has nothing particularly useful in the way of details.

Hi Mason,

it would have surprised me that you could open this in any IDE. The project file is there, just to allow for building the project (e.g. using msbuild or xbuild). I'm not using IDEs a lot, so there has been put no effort in supporting them so far.

Now, if you feel like it, please do submit a PR with support for e.g. a VS 2017 build. It might require some rework since the current build process is probably a-typical for more classic VS projects.

Let me know if you need any help in understanding the current process!
regards,
Christophe
