Can't import settings in Visual Studio 2008 SP1

I recently baselined my machine and installed VS2008 and I am trying to import my settings file: http://naspinski.net/file.axd?file=naspinski.vssettings

I click Tools->Import Settings, select Import selected environment settings and click on Next

Next screen I select No, just import new settings, overwrite my current settings and click Next

I browse to my file and click Open -or- double-click on the file and it just dumps out... I don't get the option to click Finished, it just dumps out?

Any ideas what is wrong?

Solution

  • try only importing by section - you should then see which bits seem to be wrong...

    Imports fine on my machine. = VS2008 sp1 - there are warnings on

    1. Command Window Alises
    2. External Tools

    Might want to check them out.

    Would also suggest changing to Monaco font - easier reading...
