Problems with .sln when moving OpenSees Folder

[blaiman]

Hey all,

Wondering if anyone else has come across this problem before and/or know how to solve this problem. If I move the whole OpenSees folder from the original drive or folder where I obtained through SVN and reopen the the .sln solution and try to build, I obtain the following message:

"The project file '' has been renamed or is no longer in the solution."

I've never ran into this problem before with the previous versions of OpenSees. Any input or solution to this will help. Thanks! By the way I have not modified anything at all of the source code, so I don't know why it gives me this problem.

you could try removing the Win32 directory from the new location and then doing an svn update from the main directory.

Thanks Frank, but my concern is if I started to make modifications to the .sln and move the folder then I won't be able to build or work with the .sln anymore. Any more suggestions or tips for this problem? Thanks!

svn des not seem to merge svn files all that well. if you are making changes they are going to get overwritten if you do an update. that is why we encouarage developers to use the dll approach as thay only need the latest .exe and the upto date core files.
