I downloaded the Quake 2 source code from Github and for some reason the VS work space files are corrupt.

I don't think there's anything anybody here can do about it...

Is it a problem with my computer or the files? Is there some where else I can download them?

It turns out that the project files weren't actually corrupt, what's wrong is that I don't have the required platform(s). You can read more about it here (http://blogs.msdn.com/b/vcblog/archive/2010/03/02/visual-studio-2010-c-project-upgrade-guide.aspx).
I don't think the express version of Visual Studio allows people to add platforms, so I guess I'm out of luck.

Would it be possible to manually import the quake 2 files into a new version of Visual Studio? If so do I need to maintain the same solution explorer structure and disk folder structure from the old solution?

For some reason, when I download the source code off of Id's FTP site (ftp://ftp.idsoftware.com/) the Visual Studio Work Space file upgrades smoothly to Visual Studio 2008, unlike the one from github which has that "corrupt file" error.
Of course, if I upgrade it to Visual Studio 2010 or newer I get that stupid "$(targetpath) doesn't match the linker's output file directory" error.
I figured out how to change $(targetpath) but it seems like the librarian's output file directory is different from the linker's output file directory. I can have $(targetpaht) mach one or the other but not both.
Can I change the linker's output file directory and the librarian's output file directory to match $(targetpath) instead? If so how do I change the librarian's output file directory?

Strange, when I build the solution I don't get the "$(targetpath) doesn't match the linker's output file directory" error. Instead, I get these errors.
