This is the issue I face, one of the projects in my solution sits on 'load failed' after a fresh windows install and attempted fetching of the solution from team foundation server.

So far I have:

Attempted to navigate to a few folders to see if it prompts for a permission override - no success

Taken ownership of the IIS config folders and enabled editing.

Attempted to set the UseIIS to false and changed the ports in the csproj file.

Any other things I should try?

Using VS 2013


Solution

  • No resolution, had to reinstall OS.
