installing Port Audio Visual Studio 2010

Hi
this is my first post here so I hope i'm in the right place
I'm trying to build Port Audio for Visual Studio 2010.pa stable v19 My computer uses Windows 7 Home premium 64 Bit operating system. Even though i'm very old I am a newbie.
I have followed the instructions as per http://portaudio.com/docs/v19-doxydocs/compile_windows.html Section 4 4) If you have Visual Studio 2005, Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition or Visual Studio 2010, double click the portaudio.sln file

When I open this file the wizard appears as per the instructions
if I click finish or next I get errors as below. I believe that it's trying to convert
portaudio.vcproj because it creates a back up sln.file.

I have searched for these error but nothing of use (ithink) or things that I understand at the moment help ..is it possibly to do with the 64 bit system ?

I'm new to C++ (I kinda understand libraries via Arduino) and I'm hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction to what is going wrong.

If you get this far thanks for reading......
