VS 2017 + Xamarin: Imported project was not found

Question

When I try to create a Xamarin.Fomrs project in Visual Studio 2017, it keeps giving me the following error:

I have tried to re-install VS, but that didn't work. When I open the project in File Explorer, everything is there. However, when I open the solution in Solution Explorer in VS, it says 0 projects, why? How can I fix this?

EDIT: The files .projitems and .csproj do exist, when I open the path in File Explorer, so I don't understand the error

Answer 1

I've fixed the problem. The issue was that when I created the project, I typed a projectname with spaces. Replacing them with _ fixed the issue.

Answer 2

Thanks, I had a similar issue that you helped resolve. I created a new project that had a hyphen "-" in the game and got the above error. The project would create but it wouldn't load. I didn't use an underscore, I just crammed the letters together. But it let me create the project.
