New custom project can't be saved

Working on Neutron, I had the problem with saving Neutron's custom project. A new project has been created in a temporary directory.

When I try to save whole solution the old style save project dialog box appears.

But after specifying the name and directory to save the project, and pressing on Save button and get the error dialog with following message:

The operation could not be completed. No such interface supported

The operation could not be completed. No such interface supported.

After some research the work around this weird problem has been found. To prevent this strange behavior all of you need is go in Tools -> Options -> Projects and Solutions -> General and check 'Save new projects when created' option.

Save new projects when created

This will not affect projects already opened. But that will prevent new ones from the problem we are discussing.

As you can see, just a work around is described in this post. I have reported this bug to Microsoft Connect last year. You can see my feedback here: Solution is not saved when "Save new projects when created" is unchecked. But the real fix for that bug is still not ready. You can add your 2 cents by voting for it! ;)

Keep in touch and happy extending!
