Visual Studio Import Wizard Does not work?

Wed Jan 02, 2008 10:00 pm

Hi,
I tried to create a new installation project using Visual Studio Import and received and error "Failed to load solution file. Can not access solution context" when I tried to import using solution file. Am I doing something wrong?
license version 6.1
Thanks,
Vinh,

Hi Vinh,

Could you please provide more details on this.

What version of VS was used to create the solution file? What version of VS do you have installed on your machine?

Also, if you can, please mail that solution file to support at advancedinstaller dot com so we can investigate this.

Best regards,
Ciprian

Hi Ciprian,
I am using VS 2005 Team Suite and the solution file was created in this version. Unfortunately, our company policy does not allow us to send file to vendor as it is containing proprietary information. However, I was able to import using the project file instead of the solution file.
Thanks,
Vinh,

Hi Vinh,

Thanks for the info. However I was not able to reproduce this behavior with none of my test solutions.

If it is not too much trouble, could you please create a test solution which reproduces this issue and mail it to us. We would greatly appreciate it. This might be a bug and we are very careful to investigate such matters.

Best regards,
Ciprian

I knew you were going to ask that, and the answer is no (I won't create a test project).

This is environment:

Vista sp1 Ultimate 32-bit
Visual Studio 2008
.net 2.0 Windows Forms

There's a bug in there somewhere and your test coverage isn't seeing it. What was the solution for the original poster, that would help a lot. Or did the issue lapse unresolved?

Hi,
"Failed to load solution file. Can not access solution context"
This error appears when the projects contained by that solution cannot be found.

This might happen if the solution file was moved from it's original location, after the projects that are contained were created. Is this your case?
