I have Visual Studio 2010, 2012, 2013, 2015, 2017, and 2019 installed on my work PC.

If the Microsoft Visual Studio Version Selector is designated as the default application to open SLN and CSPROJ files, it (apparently) looks at the solution and/or project, and determines which version of VS to use.

When installing VS, start from oldest to newest, e.g., in my case I install 2010 first. My group encountered odd results when installing out of order. My guess is that each version overwrites some files with versions that are backwards compatible -- installing out of publication order replaces newer versions with older ones, so the newer versions of VS can't work.
