Helo Everybody

I am coming accross following errors when i attempt to open my project developed in VS2005:

---------------------------
Microsoft Visual Studio
---------------------------
Unable to read the project file 'BusinessLayer.vbproj'. Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Build.Engine, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' or one of its dependencies. The module was expected to contain an assembly manifest.
---------------------------
OK   Cancel  
---------------------------

I am in deep trouble because of this as I have to finish this project within tight deadlines. The project code was working fine before I formatted my PC but on now after i completed all the installation it is troubling me.

Can anyone help me figure out what is the real problem!!! My assumption is that there is some problem with VS2005 Microsoft.Build.Engine as I am even unable to create new VB.net projects. Moreover, I even re-installed my VS2005 in hope of getting the error removed but all in vain.. :((

Your early replies, link to answers or sites, suggestion will be highly appreciated. Plzzzzzzzzzzz do reply if u know the solution. Earlier also I posted similar query but didnt' get satisfying answer.

Are you opening this through a solution .sln file or the BusinessLayer.vbproj file?

I have tried opening it both ways i.e. through .sln and .vbproj but it doesn't open in both the scenario......any idea/suggestion??

It may be because your solution references this Microsoft.Build.Engine assembly and this file is not on your development machine.

Check whether that assembly exists on your machine by browsing to this folder C:\WINDOWS\assembly and have a look for it

Is this solution source controlled, so you can roll back to an earlier point?
 

Thank you for your reply Jimmy. Unfortunately I cannnot chk what you asked me as my HardDrive has crashed and m trying my best to recover my data. As soon as I get that done, will get back to you.
