Can't open dsw file in Visual Studio C++ 6.0

1k Views Asked by At

When I try to "Open Workplace" of my project, visual studio does nothing, solution explorer is empty. Also when I try to open my project, I occasionally see this error:

This makefile was not generated by Developer Studio.
Continuing will create a new Developer Studio project to wrap this makefile. You will be prompted to save after the new project has been created.
Do you want to continue?

The problem was that my dsp/dsw file endings were LF. You can check your file endings in your code editor or using this git command:

git ls-files --eol

After converting ds/dsp files to CRLF, I was able to open the project. You can convert file endings in Unix using this command:

unix2dos YouFileName.dsw
