A couple of days ago I installed Visual Studio 2010 beta 2 on freshly installed Windows 7 box. This has never had VS2010 beta 1 installed.
I've just checked out my code from Subversion (which was last run in VS2010 beta 1), and tried double-clicking on the solution file - nothing happens. The icon shows the VS2010 infinity band, but hovering over it shows Version: (unrecognised version).
I can open up the solution manually, but why does Explorer not know about the version? (Which I assume is why it won't open up via double-clicking.)
EDIT: I've just checked against a solution created directly in Visual Studio 2010 - and that one works! I've had a look in the files themselves, and I can't see any obvious differences... will keep experimenting.
Based on your edit, does this happen when you open a project edited in VS 2008 last? I am wondering if it is not a problem with the .sln file specifically in VS 2010 B1 or later? – BinaryMisfit – 2009-10-26T10:12:10.230
@Diago: See my answer. The problem was a change in format between beta 1 and beta 2, I believe... – Jon Skeet – 2009-10-26T10:14:38.257
