The following issue has been SUBMITTED. ====================================================================== http://public.kitware.com/Bug/view.php?id=12572 ====================================================================== Reported By: Mateusz Loskot Assigned To: ====================================================================== Project: CMake Issue ID: 12572 Category: CMake Reproducibility: always Severity: minor Priority: normal Status: new ====================================================================== Date Submitted: 2011-11-10 16:50 EST Last Modified: 2011-11-10 16:50 EST ====================================================================== Summary: .sln file signature does not match Visual Studio 11 Description: Solution files (.sln) generated by cmake -G "Visual Studio 11" command output .sln file signature (the first two lines) which does not match release of Visual Studio 11 (currently Developer Preview).
It leads to the problem with recognising those .sln files Windows Explorer and Visual Studio Version Selector. The first two lines CMake generates are: Microsoft Visual Studio Solution File, Format Version 12.00 # Visual Studio 2011 but should be: Microsoft Visual Studio Solution File, Format Version 12.00 # Visual Studio 11 On double-click of such .sln file (with the incorrect signature), error message is displayed saying: "File version is not supported by the launcher" (see screenshot). Windows Explorer also does not display correct Visual Studio 11 icon for .sln file, but displays "blank" VS icon without version number. Here is the .sln file signature issue explained: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/andrewarnottms/archive/2008/02/13/why-double-clicking-on-an-sln-file-doesn-t-always-launch-visual-studio.aspx ====================================================================== Issue History Date Modified Username Field Change ====================================================================== 2011-11-10 16:50 Mateusz Loskot New Issue 2011-11-10 16:50 Mateusz Loskot File Added: vs11-file-version-not-supported-by-launcher.png ====================================================================== -- Powered by www.kitware.com Visit other Kitware open-source projects at http://www.kitware.com/opensource/opensource.html Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Follow this link to subscribe/unsubscribe: http://public.kitware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cmake-developers
