….exported the following hive from the SP2010 server: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Web Server Extensions\14.0]
and installed it on my host. I can now create SP2010 projects in VS2010

Did you export the registry key from a Sharepoint 2010 server? Since 2008 R2 is 64bit only and SP2010 is 64bit as well the registry keys will be the same
