I have no clue what my next step is. In order to REACH this step, I had to r-click on the iso file and choose 'Open with.' And then choose the iso copy tool. I am still getting the 'iso file is not a valid image file' message when trying to use the windows 7 usbdvd download. What am I missing here?
You should try using a USB Thumb drive instead of a hard disk.
you will have to use a tool such as the Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool (http://store.microsoft.com/Help/ISO-Tool)
This simple tool will help you convert the same image file into to a USB thumb drive. For installation purposes, you should get a thumb drive that’s at least 4 GBs in size to store the installation files. Browse to where the Windows 7 Image is stored, open it.
Select the USB device where you want to have the backup stored to for installation.
Once the USB device has been identified, click the Begin copying button. Mount mograph.
And that’s it, the next step now is to boot your Computer from the thumb drive, make sure the thumb drive you will be installing Windows 7 from is plugged into the USB port. This might vary by manufacturer, but the usual one to try is F12, start your Computer and press F12 repeatedly until a screen is displayed giving you the option to boot from a USB Memory device, select that and press Enter on your keyboard.
Windows 7 will boot as it normally does into the setup environment.
I recently re-built my development machine which now uses windows 7. On this new machine, VS 2010 can no longer open sln files directly from SS 2005. These are valid 2010 solutions (orginally created witih VS 2010) that worked fine until I re-built my machine. My co-workers have the same setup and do not have this problem.
The message I get is 'The selected file is not a valid solution file'.
I've re-built many times and used many installs of VS and never had a problem opening sln's from SS using VS 05, 08 or 10. I've just never seen this before. My co-workers have not had this problem either
I have re-installed SS 2005 as well as the latest SS update but nothing works.
VS 2010 can open solutions from the file system just fine, so it must be a SS thing.
Any ideas?
Edit for contents of Solution file:
Actions taken:
Step 1:File -> Open Project/Solution
Step 2:Select SourceSafe on left menu. You can now see ss_IssueTrak database stored in sourcesafe
Step 3:Navigate to Solution IssueTrakX.sln
Step 4:Click Open or double click IssueTrakX.sln and receive this error
I've had a similar error message after installing Windows 7. Turns out that some features of Visual Studio were not yet installed. It might have been a service pack or EF4. Once that was installed, I was able to open the solution file. Then, I was also getting 'The project type is not supported by this installation' until I installed some other updates, like for MVC3.
I presume that the solution file had information that the un-patched Visual Studio did not recognize.
Glen LittleGlen LittleIn my case, the message 'The selected file is not a valid solution file' occurred when there were file names in my solutions that were too long for the path where i wanted to download the solution. Putting the solution folder directly under the C: drive or a folder short to the C-drive solved my problem.
