Can't open solution in vs2005

Each time I try to open the solution file for wiimotecs and wiimotevb, I receive this complain from my vs2005:

 

Unexpected error encountered: It is recommended that you restart the application as soon as possible.

Error: The parameter is incorrect.

File: vsee\lib\xfcstr\winstrw.cpp

Line Number:166

 

Does anyone knows what is the problem?

 

 

Never seen that error before and a quick Google claims no on else has either. 

Any other issues with VS2005?  Perhaps a re-install is in order...
 

I know you keep bumping this topic and I'll politely ask you to stop.  You're quite literally the only person in the world that has seen this error according to a search at Google and elsewhere.  Have you tried a re-install?  Virus scan?  What are you trying to open the .sln file in?  The topic says VS2005.  Do you have SP1 installed?  What OS are you running?

Give me some more details and perhaps I can help.  Bumping the thread with no further details isn't going to help anyone fix an issue that no one has ever seen before. 

Also, try downloading the zip file again from the source.  I've updated the solutions to remove the source control bindings (don't know how they got left in) which may or may not have an effect for you. 

I am receiving the error as well so you are not alone.  I have been using VS2005 with ClearCase just fine until the other day, one of my sln files is giving me this error.  However, I can open other projects (sln files) which are integrated into ClearCase just fine.   With this particular sln fine that is now giving me trouble and will not open, I also randomly receive the following error: 'The project 'xxxx' is under source control.  An error occurred registering this project with source control.  It is recommended that you do not make any changes to this project.'

I've been catching that error frequently after we upgraded to ClearCase 7.0.  (I'm in the process of filing a PMR with IBM/RATIONAL as I type this message.)

I do know that the initial release of CC 7.0 had an installation defect where, if the visibility of the previous plugin had been disabled, the 7.0 installer would simply not install the plugin.  If this is the case, try making sure that, in the registry, HKLM\SOFTWARE\Atria\ClearCase\HIDEINVISUALSTUDIO has a value of 0 before you install CC 7.0.  If this key had a value of 1 when you installed, you will need to remove clearcase, fix the registry key to have a value of 0, and then reinstall CC.

 I'll followup with any info I manage to glean from Rational this afternoon that might help.

I seem to get it every time there's a problem accessing the Version Control system for a project.

I found this issue opening a solution that was under source control (Clearcase). To circumvent this, I went into VS2005 -> Tools -> Options -> Source Control, and Set Current Source Control Plug-in to None. Reopening the solution now worked. Your case may differ, but this is probably worth trying..

The above mentioned solution helped me. Once you detach it from source control, you can Open it and play. But you want it in Source control, I am not sure as i haven't tried it. Thanks.

Great solution.. I enjoyed .

It works me, thanks

I'm seeing this in VS2008. He's not the only one.

I have tried a quick work around just to open the prj. if its a proj file. Right click the .csproj --> properties --> remove the read only attribute now open the csproj file with any text editor and remove the below lines and save it SccProjectName Rational ClearCase SccProjectName SccLocalPath Rational ClearCase SccLocalPath SccProvider Rational ClearCase SccProvider Now try opening the csproj. it works from me.. just a quick work around not a solution.

I was able to open the 1.2.1 version of the library in VS 2005, but when I try to open the current (1.5) version, VS responds "The selected file is a solution file, but was created by a newer version of this application and cannot be opened". Any ideas? Are you using VS 2008 now?

Yes, starting with build version 1.3, VS08 (Express or higher) is required.
