I have just installed the Fitch and Mather 7.0 demo that comes as an example in VS. When I try to open the Fitch and Mather 7.0.sln file, it gives me the following error:
The Selected file is not a valid VS solution file.

Then it shuts down. The same happens to many other samples I have downloaded from Microsoft's web sites. If it is a sln file that I created, it will open it.

I am using VS.net enterprise

Any idea what could casue this?

Thanks Lance
 
Which version of VS.NET are you using?
Solutions written for VS 2003 won't open in VS 2002.
