The location link appears to not work

The location link from the section at the bottom of the FxCop window always seems to gove an error indicating it cannot locate the file, the link from within the detail does however locate the code within visual studio.

An example of where the actual files are located (The only place Visual Studio seemed to allow to put the files it gave no choose location) is C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\My Documents\Visual Studio\Projects\ProjectName STG.root\ProjectName STG\ProjectName Folder\ProjectName Folder\SharedClasses.cs

The main screen location link looks something like

file:///C:/Documents%2520and%2520Settings/username/My%2520Documents/Visual%2520Studio/Projects/ProjectName%2520STG.root/ProjectName%2520STG/ProjectName%2520Audit/ProjectName%2520Audit/FolderName/class.cs

I believe that %2520 is not the code for a space and that is the reason the link fails

    When I try to install Visual Studio.net 2003 it throws the check path error and although the path is correct on my computer it cannot find it.  VS is looking for ...Documents%2520and%2520Settings\... to find the vserror71.txt file so it can install the program.

    Thank you, even if I'm in the wrong forum!( )

  • SteveWolfe

    I have the same problem, did you figure out how to correct the problem   Thanks

  • Ken

    Are you talking about an FxCop problem or something that happens at install time for VS

    Which file do you manually convert

  • maxim4o

    FYI, I just ran into the same problem. In my case, it was just the %20. If I manually convert them to spaces, it works.

    Hi Michael,

    I'm trying to install Visual Studio.net  Academic and get the same type error when it looks for the vserror71.txt file but it inserts %2520 for the spaces in the path name.  The .txt file is in the correct path.  Can you help please

     

    Thanks.

    That's the issue. We're going to fix this for 1.35, which will be available in a beta drop within 2 - 3 days.
