Visual Studio – vdproj is incompatible

vdproj is a MSI creation project for Visual Studio. Its been deprecated and most people have moved on to either WIX or NSIS or a professional grade installer creation tools such as Install Shield.

If you do not require an installer for your product just exclude the vdproj project from the solution and continue with your life

for fun if you want to try to transition right away to wix, try this powershell script https://github.com/chrisoldwood/vdproj2wix
