ERROR: Unable to find RegKey for .vcproj files in solutions

[76561197975073593]

Can someone help.
If I open creategameprojects.bat in SP episodes i get this error.
I've read through the forums but no luck.

I've been away from steam for over 5 years and I come back and it's an even bigger mess than when I left.
Can't log in because it can't connect.
Have to receive an email if I ise ie (piece of ♥♥♥♥ I'm thinking it was designed by valve) then another one if I use chrome>
I can login to the client but I want to post here I need a steam id ???
All I did was click save without changing anything.
If I want to contact valve customer support I need yet another account and if I want to use the web based forums I have to create another account.

Steam is as big a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ as it ever was.

Anyway before I go through the misery of caontacting customer support. They were ♥♥♥♥♥ years ago so they must only be worse now I thouhgt I'd try you good people.
Any help would be appreciated.

So I decided to install the SDK through the steam client and when I click on my first episodic mod I get this error message "Could not load client library. Try restarting. If this doesn't work verify the cache."
All of which I've done and that is if I even get a message. Sometimes it goes back to the desktop screen.
Of course Valve support has been on their top game as usual.
i.e. no response to my ticket.
Could anyone here help me out please?

btw has Adobe or MS bought Valve?
Only thing I can think of for such a big company to release such buggy software

Now it says failed to load shared content please update these games first
Source SDK base 2013 singleplayer
but they are updated

So it's been a week and you still haven't figured out where the source sdk discussions are, have you?

I believe when you install a programme it should work.
If you have to ♥♥♥♥ about like this then it isn't a good programme.
I was defeated trying to install it the way valve say you should install it (another sign of bad programming) but managed to find a workaround which I shouldn't have had to do.
Valve support finally got back to me only to say
"We do not offer technical support for development tools or user made content."

So what do they offer support for?
Anyway I appreciate your link but it didn't help any. I had scowered the internet and these forums looking for help and nothing worked but managed to find a solution myself.

Absolutely disgusting. Maybe I'll comeback to steam in another 9 years and see if it's improved but to be honest with the way steam is going I hope they wont be around then.
They don't deserve to be.
Someone better will hopefully have come along
