Hi, NxOgre users, and betajaen, I found a problem with the NxOgre solutions, at least on my machine when I extract the files in a folder, and open the build sub-directory (where the VC10 solution is located), explorer immediately crashes, I found that the problem was the version number in your (probably generated) file was written as 11.00 (the additional 0 caused the crash), so I removed it, and problem solved.

Here's the solution of the NxOgre Tutorials for BuggySwires:

Microsoft Visual Studio Solution File, Format Version 11.0
# Visual Studio 2010
Project("{8BC9CEB8-8B4A-11D0-8D11-00A0C91BC942}") = "NxOgreTutorials", "vc10\NxOgreTutorials.vcxproj", "{FAD6C6A2-5ABE-EE7E-A4E8-9A3589CFA671}"
EndProject
Project("{2150E333-8FDC-42A3-9474-1A3956D46DE8}") = "Solution Items", "Solution Items", "{F35A4AAF-7CE4-491D-A805-A11738A39D7A}"
EndProject
Global
GlobalSection(SolutionConfigurationPlatforms) = preSolution
Debug|Win32 = Debug|Win32
Final|Win32 = Final|Win32
EndGlobalSection
GlobalSection(ProjectConfigurationPlatforms) = postSolution
{FAD6C6A2-5ABE-EE7E-A4E8-9A3589CFA671}.Debug|Win32.ActiveCfg = Debug|Win32
{FAD6C6A2-5ABE-EE7E-A4E8-9A3589CFA671}.Debug|Win32.Build.0 = Debug|Win32
{FAD6C6A2-5ABE-EE7E-A4E8-9A3589CFA671}.Final|Win32.ActiveCfg = Final|Win32
{FAD6C6A2-5ABE-EE7E-A4E8-9A3589CFA671}.Final|Win32.Build.0 = Final|Win32
EndGlobalSection
GlobalSection(SolutionProperties) = preSolution
HideSolutionNode = FALSE
EndGlobalSection
EndGlobal


and the NxOgre SDK solution:

Microsoft Visual Studio Solution File, Format Version 11.0
# Visual Studio 2010
Project("{8BC9CEB8-8B4A-11D0-8D11-00A0C91BC942}") = "NxOgre", "vc10\NxOgre.vcxproj", "{D5425ED3-3C43-4D8F-9069-60AFCC393870}"
EndProject
Global
GlobalSection(SolutionConfigurationPlatforms) = preSolution
Debug|Win32 = Debug|Win32
Final|Win32 = Final|Win32
EndGlobalSection
GlobalSection(ProjectConfigurationPlatforms) = postSolution
{D5425ED3-3C43-4D8F-9069-60AFCC393870}.Debug|Win32.ActiveCfg = Debug|Win32
{D5425ED3-3C43-4D8F-9069-60AFCC393870}.Debug|Win32.Build.0 = Debug|Win32
{D5425ED3-3C43-4D8F-9069-60AFCC393870}.Final|Win32.ActiveCfg = Final|Win32
{D5425ED3-3C43-4D8F-9069-60AFCC393870}.Final|Win32.Build.0 = Final|Win32
EndGlobalSection
GlobalSection(SolutionProperties) = preSolution
HideSolutionNode = FALSE
EndGlobalSection
EndGlobal


Now, I noticed that when I tried to open these files directly it said "File Format not Supported by This Launcher", or something like that, so I dragged'n'dropped them into VS10, and they worked.

Even if no one else has this problem now, it could prove helpful if someone encounters this problem in the future.

Interesting, I don't use Windows Explorer, and I usually open any solution file through Visual Studio than the icon. But the fix is appreciated.
