Unable to open sln in either 2015 or 2017 about libphonenumber-csharp HOT 5 CLOSED

Are you using the latest 2017, 15.5.7? Really anything up to date to the last six months or more should be fine. The csproj files are in netstandard/netcore format https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/tools/csproj. It's a bit out of date (still 1.0 not 2.0) but can you open https://github.com/dotnet/core/tree/master/samples/helloworld?

from libphonenumber-csharp.

Hmm... Here is the 2017 info:

Microsoft Visual Studio Professional 2017 
Version 15.5.7
VisualStudio.15.Release/15.5.7+27130.2036
Microsoft .NET Framework
Version 4.7.02046

Installed Version: Professional

When I attempt to open that hello world sample, I get this:

The selected file cannot be opened as a solution or project. Please select a solution file or a project file.

Baffled. I accept this is not your issue then.. but confused where to go from here..

Granted, I only installed 2017 this morning via Chocolatey so that I could browse your code (we're still on 2015 in work)

Ah.. seems that the choco package only installs bare minimum (Core Editor) and extra command line params are needed to enable .net dev..

I like choco for a lot of thing but would recommend the native VS installer for Visual Studio, and make sure all the netstandard check boxes are checked. As an aside, while you need new-ish (and complete) version of Visual Studio to open the solution, the nupkg is backwards compatible down to .net40.

choco install visualstudio2017-workload-netweb

and I was able to open your sln...

Cheers and thanks for maintaining this project
