Report Project Wont Open In BIDS2005

  • Hi All

    I have just taken on development of an existing package and checked it out fro TFS, happy days.

    The issue I have is that I have been told it has been developed in BIDS 2005, but every time I open the solution I get the following error message

    The selected file is a solution file, but was created by a newer version of this application and cannot be opened

    OK. I thought to myself it must be BIDS 2008 but every time I open the packing in 2008 it says the project needs upgrading.

    I'm in a bit of a stump now, has anyone seen this before and if so how can I get the solution open.

    Running Windows7 x64, SQL 2005 SP4, SQL 2008 R2 CU4

    Thanks

    That usually means it was created with VS2005 with SP1 so try installing SP1 before loading it again.
