'Unable to open Tabular project file in Visual Studio
Hi there I am having an same issue in opening a tabular project file in Visual Studio. With the.smproj file I am getting an incompatible error stating that the application is not installed.
The error message I am getting on the migration report is as follows: "XXX".smproj: The application which this project type is based on was not found. I have tried opening this in VS 2015, 2017 and 2019.
I have installed the following extensions:
- Microsoft Integration Services Projects (VS 2017)
- SQL Server Integration Services Projects (VS 2019)
In all the versions I am unable to access this project, with the same incompatible error.
Any guidance anyone can provide on the above would be highly appreciated.
Solution 1:[1]
You should install the Microsoft Analysis Services Projects extension (in Visual Studio 2019 or Visual Studio 2017).
Solution 2:[2]
For Visual Studio 2022 add extension gallery to download the preview pack using the extensions tools blue link in the tools and extensions popup window - Use this URL for the gallery (http://aka.ms/ProBI-VSIX2022) and name it (Microsoft BI VSIX Preview)
