I can not get a fully-installed copy of visual studio 2003 to recognize
project files.

I'm trying to perform maintenance on a csharp project, but when I try
opening the
*.csproj file on my fresh & complete install of visualstudio, I get the
following error:

"the application for the project <projectFilePath> is not installed. Make
sure the application for the project type (.csproj) is installed."

In "help" > "about" > "installed products", I see
- Microsoft Visual C++ .NET 69461-270-000007-18710
- Crystal Reports for Visual Studio .NET AAP50-GS00000-UN7000RN
- Microsoft Application Center Test
- Rational ClearCase 2003.06.10+
- Visual Studio Analyzer

Yes, the product is FULLY installed. I even reran the setup disks and do
not thave the option to add any other components or applications.

Can someone help get me up and running?

You say your VS 2003 is "fully" installed, but your installed products list
says VB, C# and J# are missing, which is why you get the error when you
attempt to open a C# project.

Have you tried Control Panel->Add Remove Programs->VS2003->Add or Remove
Features to see what is listed there under Language Tools? If C#, J# and VB
are not listed, you have a failed install. If they are there, can you select
them to run from disk?
Alternatively, have you tried a repair install?
If none of these procedures help you, I'd suggest a complete uninstall of VS
2003 and the .NET Framework v1.1 using these procedures:

If this is the Enterprise Architect Edition (which I don't have here), are
there any options for the role
you install for? Did you select a general developer role (if available)?

Every application listed under "language tools" had a checkmark next to it in
the "Microsoft Visual Studio .NET Enterprise Developer 2003 Setup - Options"
page.

I've tried complete uninstalls and reinstalls several times: while logged on
under a roaming network profile with admin permissions, while logged in under
a local user in the administrators group. Both have appeared to succeed, and
both have failed.

I do appreciate the attempt. :)

Maybe you are missing a pre-requisite for the .NET part. You need Windows
2000 pro or XP Pro along with the instalation of IIS and the extensions for
frontpage. I was able to install VS2003 on my work computer running Windows
2000 even though I had no ability to install IIS or the extensions, but I
could not create .NET projects. I was just learning C++ at the time with
Win32, so it didn't matter to me. I have no idea what would have happened
had I tried VB or C# .NET.

I wish it were that easy. IIS and FrontPage extensions were already
installed.
