    Hello.

    I've noticed that the project "Unity Data.vcxitems" can't load (the project is marked as not loaded in the Solution Explorer) on VS Community 2017 v.15.8.2. If I try to reload it (using VS command), I see the following error in console:
    Unity Data.vcxitems : error : Unable to read the project file "Unity Data.vcxitems".
    (28,54): The project file could not be loaded. An error occurred while parsing EntityName. Line 28, position 54.    ​
    No matter how I change the contents of this file the error message remains the same.
    However, the game compiles and runs just fine.
    Is this error a problem or I can ignore it safely?

    The strange thing is that in my other project, everything works fine, i.e. no such error.

    I'm using:
    Unity 2017.4.16f1
    Target device: PC
    Build Type: Any

    P.S. The project file is attached.

    Very weird indeed. I wonder if there's something wrong with VS installation (these kind of errors usually happen when some VS component is corrupted).

    However, I would not worry about it. That project includes critical files for your game, and if your game works, that means those files are getting included and VS is just being weird.
