Visual Studio File Conversion Fails

I am trying to open this project i开发者_开发知识库n VS 2010. However, it fails, and I am unable to open the project. Why could this be happening?

The project is XNA.

Here is an error message:

The project file 'ShipDemo.csproj' cannot be opened. The project type is not supported by this installation.

XNA Game Studio is built upon Visual Studio 2008. They have not updated it to work with VS 2010 at this point.

In order to use XNA, you still need to work in VS 2008.
