Stop displaying "Unsupported .vdproj" warning

Question

I am working on an older project that contains .vdproj installer projects and am using Visual Studio 2013.

The problem is that for every .vdproj project I receive a warning – thus, after opening the solution, I have to close about 50 warnings.

Is there a way how to stop displaying those warnings?

Edit:

The same issue arises with Visual Studio 2015.

Answer 1

For Visual Studio 2019 (possibly 2017) you need to add the installer extension.

In Visual Studio:

1. Select the menu item "Extensions"
2. Select "Manage Extensions"
3. In the left-hand pane, select "Online"
4. In the search box, search for "Microsoft Visual Studio Installer Projects"
5. Install
6. Load your project
