Thanks, Alok!
I found the (very simple) error:
XSISDK_ROOT contains quotes, which it shouldn't.
This is because it gets set wrongly in the batch scripts
http://download.autodesk.com/global/docs/softimage2013/en_us/sdkguide/index.html?url=files/cpp_setup_CompilingPlugins.htm,topicNumber=d30e78816
...
set XSISDK_ROOT="C:\Softimage\Softimage_2012_x64\XSISDK"
(besides, it should read Softimage 2013 in the meantime)
Correct version:
set "XSISDK_ROOT=C:\Softimage\Softimage 2013\XSISDK"
See http://ss64.com/nt/set.html
Now VS can open the .vcxproj without problems.
Best,
Eugen

Hi Eugen,
.vcproj files are xml files with all the settings of projects,
dependencies
etc. specified. Open your .vcproj file in notepad, find
'Debug-x86.props'.
You will find a path to these pointed to XSISDK folders\make files
folders.
Make sure the path is all legal with correct path separator and without
any
illegal characters. You can edit your .vcproj file and save. Try to open
it
again, if you see more of these errors try to fix them all.
To fix the path you can set the separator to '\\'.
I am not sure if this will solve the problem, but from the error you are
getting it is worth a try.
