Windows Service with Visual Studio 2005 solution not opening with Visual Studio 2010


I am unable to open a solution created using visual studio 2005 version. The solution has two windows services within. I recently upgraded to Visual Studio 2010. Now I am unable to open the solution file. I have tried to open it using Visual Studio 2010 as well as the version selector, and in both cases I dont see the creating/importing solution dialogue. It just shows the hourglass for a split second and then goes away, not sure what's happening in the background, but definitely no crash indicator.


Solution

  • Dont use the project or solution file, move all classes into the new vs2010 solution and rebuild it
