Today I was finally able to track down the problem, which is caused by some seemingly benign lines in the .vcxproj file. To fix the problem, open your .vcxproj file in Notepad, go to the end of the file, and you'll find some lines that look like this:
<ProjectExtensions>
<VisualStudio>
<UserProperties RESOURCE_FILE="Dot.rc" />
</VisualStudio>
</ProjectExtensions>Remove those lines, reload the project, and everything will start working fine. Those lines do not appear in project files that are created by the Visual Studio 2010 wizard, so I believe that they are not needed.
My complete bug report can be found on Microsoft Connect:

I get the same problem.
ReplyDeleteMigration from 2008 to 2010, adding new configurations and as a result: error on trying to remove any project configuration, even the old one (before migration).
In UserProperties I have another options:
lupdateOnBuild="0"
MocDir=".\GeneratedFiles\$(ConfigurationName)"
MocOptions=""
QtVersion_x0020_Win32="$(DefaultQtVersion)"
RccDir=".\GeneratedFiles"
UicDir=".\GeneratedFiles"
But, nevertheless, deleting of "ProjectExtensions" whole tag solves the problem!
P.S. Unfortunately it's not obvious (for me) why it happened.
THANKS A LOT!
deleting of "ProjectExtensions" magically fixed the microsoft bug. project configuration can now be deleted :)
ReplyDeleteThe solution worked perfectly. Thank you very much.
