Cannot open MP 1 solution in VS2008 (1 Viewer)

[komita]

Well since I was having problems compiling the code in VS2010 I gave VS2008 a shot thinking it would work flawless.
I installed: VS2008 SP1 + C++ security update -> Download details: Visual Studio 2008 Service Pack 1 ATL Security Update
as suggested by another thread with this issue but I am still unable to open the solution, getting an error that the solution had been created in a newer version of the application.

The VS2008 version is Version 9.0.30729.1 SP can somebody confirm if I have the correct version please?

We are currently using VS2010 - what error you are getting with it?

Seems a few other people had it on the forums, and there were a few possible solutions presented but seems none of them worked for me.

Error 4 Could not load file or assembly 'file:///C:/svnroot/mediaportal/trunk/mediaportal/MediaPortal.Base/BassRegistration.dll' or one of its dependencies. An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format. Line 2293, position 5. C:\svnroot\mediaportal\trunk\mediaportal\Configuration\Sections\PluginsNew.resx 2293 5 MediaPortal.Configuration

I guess its that ResGen.exe problem on a 64-bit Win 7 with VS2010.

THIS was one of the suggested workarounds but I didnt work for me. (unless I didnt put the code in the right place)

If anyone has gone through the above process can you please give me a step by step instruction on one of these "steps" since I am not sure what the right way is:

1. Adding <ResGenToolArchitecture>Managed32Bit</ResGenToolArchitecture> to a PropertyGroup in the project file of any project that generates resources targeting .NET 3.5 – since the corflags trick affects the bitness of ResGen.exe on a system-wide level, the property must be set for all affected projects as well.

2. OR If running MSBuild.exe directly, passing it using the global property switch: ‘/p:ResGenToolArchitecture=Managed32Bit’

3. OR Setting it as an environment variable in the command window that MSBuild.exe is run from or the VS 2010 IDE is opened from: ‘set RESGENTOOLARCHITECTURE=Managed32Bit’

There is always something ..

From the article I did this:

Make ResGen.exe 32-bit by:

1. Cd “%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Bin”

2. Corflags /32Bit+ /Force ResGen.exe

and

Setting it as an environment variable in the command window that MSBuild.exe is run from or the VS 2010 IDE is opened from: ‘set RESGENTOOLARCHITECTURE=Managed32Bit’

To do this last part I went into Control Panel - System - Advanced system settings - Environment Variables

Sweet! You are a life saver my friend! Thank you!

Got it to compile, all looks good, though when running it in debug it freeses when I click to open the configuration menu (since that is the first thing that pops up) the JIT debug shows it fails on the localization.

line: _languageStrings = new Dictionary<string, Dictionary<int, StringLocalised>>

in MediaPortal.Localisation.LocalisationProvider

but I did all this in a hurry so maybe I didn't do something right, I'll double check later on when I'm done running some errands.


EDIT:

Ok THIS Posting led me to THIS posting which led me to the solution for the problem mention just above in case anybody else is looking.

Thanks for the hint, but when I follow the instructions above, I get the following:

If I unset the 32bit flag using corflags, then I get this:
