Answer 1

Some types of projects are not supported in VS2012, such as .vdproj (MSI Setup projects).  These will not migrate, as they no longer work in Visual Studio.

This link shows compatibility in migrating to VS 2012: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/zainnab/archive/2012/06/05/visual-studio-2012-compatibility-aka-project-round-tripping.aspx

And that way I can resolve the incompatibility?

Nope - those projects need to be left in VS 2010, or converted to a different type of installation technology.  The previous project type is no longer supported.
