I use VS2010 and they opened fine for me to cut the pre-release nuget packages. I'll try to take a in the next day or two to see if I can't move that back to a VS2010 package.
I wouldn't have an issue with a VS2012 solution file - as long as it was in VS2012 build folder, not the VS2010 folder; and we had a VS2010 solution.
