Using Make VS.Net gives error message "..not a valid solution file

Hi,

Iam using Visual Build Professional 5.0.
Recently we installed Visual Studio 2005.
We created a project in c#. Now I want to build the
solution by using Make VS.Net.
It is saying my project file xyz.sln is not a valid Visual Studio .NET Solution file.
There is no issue with the solution file. It is fine.
I don't know why this message is coming. Whether Visual Build Professional 5.0
supports VS.Net to build Visual Studio 2005 solution project?

Actually I also tried using VISSTUDDIR\devenv.exe "filename" /build to build. This works fine but I don't know how to set Company Name,Product Version..etc.

VBP v6 was the first version that supported VS 2005.

VBP v5 is no longer being supported or enhanced.

Hi Kinook,

Thanks for your quick reply.

Is there any other option to pass comments, Product version, Company name using command line parameters as we do in VsMake for .net

Because purchasing the upgrade will take long time.
