Visual Studio 2017 not opening .modelproj

After selecting the .NET desktop development workload, be sure to add the optional Architecture and analysis tools component to the install list.


I also get this error. I explain how I fix;

  1. Open Visual Studio Installer
  2. Click Modify
  3. Go individual components tab
  4. Then check all checkboxes inside Code Tools

This @Ben solution from the comment:

  1. Open Visual Studio 2017
  2. Tools menu
  3. Get tools and Features... selection
  4. Individual Components tab
  5. Code Tools group, Then check all checkboxes inside

When you restart visual studio 2017, it must be fixed. Hope it will help someone


The following worked for me in Visual Studio 2017 (version 15.4.2):

  1. Open Visual Studio Installer
  2. Go to the tab Individual components
  3. In the Code tools section tick Live Dependency Validation. Although this is a different feature, it installed the required dependencies for me.
