Do you have vcexpress. It seems to be file locked by some other program even immediately after a reboot. There's nothing showing in Task Manager that is immediately obvious to me as the culprit.
In an effort to solve the lock problem first, I've tried using SysInternals Handle but it reports "no matching handles found". Unlocker also says "no locking handle".
Given that this is outside the scope of the original question, I'll try to resolve this elsewhere first so I can then check if editing vcexpress. Edward: File lock issue solved, editing vcexpress. If you care to add your comment as an answer I'll mark it as the accepted answer and upvote if I can, still getting used to SO. Actually it wasn't a lock as such, just admin privileges. Although I'm an administrator in fact the only user on my laptop , apparently when I go to edit the file it doesn't open with admin rights.
I had to give Users write permission to be able to save changes. Show 2 more comments. Active Oldest Votes. Malorion 1 1 gold badge 4 4 silver badges 11 11 bronze badges. For example, you can offer backward compatibility by loading an older file and offer to upgrade the file format when the user saves it. If you want multiple side-by-side VSPackages to use the same extension, you must choose the version of Visual Studio that is associated with the extension.
Here are two alternatives:. In this approach, your installer is responsible for determining the latest version of Visual Studio and including that in the registry entry written for the file association. In a Windows Installer package, you can include custom actions to set a property that indicates the latest version of Visual Studio.
In this context, "latest" means "latest supported version. Rows in the InstallExecuteSequence table schedule the custom actions early in the execute sequence. Values in the Condition column make the logic work:. Visual Studio. NET is the latest version only if it is present and Visual Studio is not present.
InstallExecuteSequence table rows that determine the latest version of Visual Studio. The developers of Visual Studio chose this approach to handle the complex requirements of the multiple formats of solutions and projects that result from many versions of Visual Studio. In this approach, you register a launcher program as the extension handler. The launcher examines the file and decides which version of Visual Studio and your VSPackage can handle that particular file.
For example, if a user opens a file that was last saved by a particular version of your VSPackage, the launcher can start that VSPackage in the matching version of Visual Studio. In addition, a user could configure the launcher to always start the latest version. A launcher also could prompt a user to upgrade the format of the file.
When specifying a solution or project, the first argument is the name of the solution file or project file, including file path. If the first argument is a file that's not a solution or project, that file opens in the appropriate editor, in a new instance of the IDE. When you supply a project file name instead of a solution file name, a devenv command searches the parent folder of the project file for a solution file that has the same name.
For example, the command devenv myproject1. One and only one solution file that references this project should be located in its parent folder. If the parent folder contains no solution file that references this project, or if the parent folder contains two or more solution files that reference it, then a temporary solution file is created. When file paths and file names include spaces, you must enclose them in quotation marks "".
