Solutions folders are not supported in this version of the application error.

Hi Archie

First of all kudos for all your hard work, you are getting everybody to do things very hard to do in the past.

I just downloaded your recent 3.51 beta, but when opening VB says "Solutions folders are not supported in this version of the application error. Solution folder "Solution Items" will be displayed as unavailable.

Is this normal? I have VB Express 2010 and also 2008, in Windows 7 x86.

I know Visual Studio 2012 Express works and Visual Studio Pro 2010, but not sure about 2010 Express. It has worked in the past.

Do you see the AdvancedHMI solution in the Solution Explorer? Have you tried to do a Rebuild All?

[Noe]

I do see the solution, and rebuild works fine. I just have an item in the solutions explorer as unavailable, the solution folder.

I just ran the default project,everything seems to be fine. I am not near to a PLC to test it, I just wanted to give it a try but ran into this screen that got my attention.

I see the problem. There was a left over folder from the performance testing. I'll be sure to remove that before the next release.

If you wanted to remove it, you can edit AdvancedHMI.sln with NotePad and delete these 2 lines:

Code: [Select]

Project("{2150E333-8FDC-42A3-9474-1A3956D46DE8}") = "Solution Items", "Solution Items", "{4770C9B8-373A-442C-B7E2-872A5C0F36A4}"
EndProject

I'll be posting a version 3.5.2 tonight that fixes that problem and a small problem in the ControlLogix driver with writing bits in an INT

Thanks Archie. I will try again.

I was also getting the same error running VB Express 2010 with Windows 7 x86.
Deleting those 2 lines as suggested by Archie solved this issue for me.
Thanks.
