I finally decided to try and check the code out again after my issues
earlier in the year. All good on that front now, will try and get
Jenkins working when I get around to it.

However, I went to open up the solution in VS2010 to be greeted with a
rather rude MS-style error informing me that I couldn't open the
MisesWeb solution because it was made by a newer version of Visual
Studio. While the obvious answer is upgrade to the 2012 beta, I don't
really want to leave my legal version of 2010 professional quite yet,
as it's what I use at work and what I'm used to. So after a bit of
annoyed Googling on the subject, I found a solution that hit upon a
reasonable compromise for me for the time being while I immerse myself
in the code.

Turns out, if you open the .sln file in Notepad, you can change the
top line from

Microsoft Visual Studio Solution File, Format Version 12.00

to

Microsoft Visual Studio Solution File, Format Version 11.00

Save and then exit, and it should work (except the Mises.WebUI
project, but I'll figure that out another day). Just thought I should
share if anyone had troubles in the future.

While it is true that I upgraded it to VS 11 format, it is (supposed to be) fully backwards compatible and in fact I use VS 2010 with the same solution on another computer.

So why is it not backwards compatible for you?  I suspect you don't have the latest version of Visual Studio 2010 installed. Particularly I would check that you have SP1 and MVC3 installed.

I’ve had this happen when one of my projects was targeting the v4.5 CLR (which is the default in VS11). The error was a little misleading because it made me suspect the file formats, too, at first.

Yeah, I'll have a look at that. I'm pretty sure I upgraded at least VS all the way up when I installed it. Not so sure about my CLR, though....

Alright, brought everything up to date while I was at lunch. Will try
reverting the repo tonight and seeing if it works :) Thanks for the
suggestions
