I noticed in the release notes the following "NOTE: If you are opening an existing MfA solution, you may need to set it to Deploy in Build > Configuration Manager."
This seems like a throw away line ('may' 'need'!!) but can someone tell me a) is this at the root of the error "The project type is not supported by this installation." b)if so please explain how I could set anything to anything if I can't open the project c) if that's not what it means then can someone explain in plain English what one does John M -----Original Message----- From: monodroid-boun...@lists.ximian.com [mailto:monodroid-boun...@lists.ximian.com] On Behalf Of John Murray Sent: 21 May 2012 15:53 To: 'Discussions related to Mono for Android' Subject: Re: [mono-android] Visual Studio 2010 crashes when opening a new or existing Mono for Android project after upgrade to 4.2.1 I too have this issue - trouble is I don't get a dialog which allows me to avoid the issue like Vasilis At first I did now after a reboot the dialog no longer appears and an empty project unusable unreadable appears in the solution explorer with the message "The project type is not supported by this installation." All this after I trustingly said yes to the update to 4.2.1 prompt Any idea of a workaround or ETA for a fix? I cannot do any work on the laptop now (fortunately I didn't upgrade the desktop.)

That's happens to me. Try this. I hope everyone to be a lucky man like me and do his job with 4.2.1 till 4.2.2 to be released and solve this problem.
