Please check which visual studio version is used to develop the project.They might have used different version of visual studio version or different framework version that's why you are getting this error.

1. Open the .csproj file in Notepad.
2. Check the tools version[Framework].

Eg: <Project ToolsVersion="4.0" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003">

There are several reason to get this error "Project type is not supported by this installation"

1) Need to check your source machine Visual Studio Version, is it differ then your destination machine VS version?

2) Some time you install Sql server in your system at that time it will also install light wait instance of VS having only capability of creating database project only, this is not happens in your case.

3) Check you destination VS, is it supporting to create any new project of ASP.NET or not with your required .NET framework or not?



To solve the issue, please re-install your VS on desired system having capability to create Project with your requirement like ASP.Net Web forms, C# Windows application etc.
