How do I force Visual Studio to make this project compatible with VS 2022?-CodePudding

I installed VS 2022 Community and am trying to work on a project that was developed on VS 2008 Pro. VS is giving me this report:

How do I force VS to make whatever upgrades it needs in order to run this program? I can provide more info if needed.

MS in their wisdom, dropped support for the Setup & Deployment project, can't remember when exactly, then after a bit of an uproar re-instated it through the Visual Studio marketplace https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=VisualStudioClient.MicrosoftVisualStudio2017InstallerProjects

Since your project has a file .vddproj, it might be a Smart Device CAB project. It is not supported by later versions of visual studio. It is recommended that you open it with VS2008.
