TSE Error "Not a valid Solution File"?

by Brandon Pollet · in Torque Game Engine Advanced · 09/10/2005 (11:16 am) · 5 replies

When I try to open either of the TSE solution files with Visual Studio .Net it gives me an error saying that they are not valid solution files and then they refuse to open. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong here? I would appreciate any help you guys can give.

Do you have Visual Studio .NET 2002? (VS 7.0) ... the solution files are for Visual Studio .NET 2003 (VS 7.1).

you could try this tool

You can just open the VC6 project and use the MS auto-conversion tool to convert it from VC6 to VC7.1

Thanks Nigel. That's what I ended up doing. Now for the fun stuff.

Note Tom Oliver's slight bug fix for the VC6 files here

You just have to add two files to get the tree gui to appear. Hopefully this will be fixed up soon to save having to manually add the two files.
