VS2010 Database Projects and SQL Server 2008R2

I am trying to create a VS2010 SQL Server 2008 database project for a SQL Server 2008R2 database. When I attempt to import an existing database a window popups up with the following message "The database that you selected is not supported."

Does anyone have any idea why this is happening?

Note: I have managed to create a database project that happily allowed me to create a table in the master database on the same SQL Server 2008 R2 database.

Thanks

Ok so I figured this one out myself. I think this may be related to my uninstalling some software / database driver that had a connection reference in Visual Studio which was not cleaned up.

Basically to fix the problem I closed Visaul Studio and then deleted this file. C:\Users...\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0\ServerExplorer\DefaultView.SEView

Here is a link to the question and answers that helped me out: http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/552006/unable-to-create-data-connection-in-server-explorer

Probably your existing database has different version. Try this: How to: Change the Target Database Version
