"There were build errors. Would you like to continue and run the last successful build?" not showing in Visual Studio 2008
Not a massive problem but something that has been bugging the life out of me...
One of my colleagues was trying out some code on my machine and got the "There were build errors. Would you like to continue and run the last successful build?" pop-up when the build failed on Visual Studio. He clicked on the "don't show this again" checkbox and closed the dialogue.
My problem is that I can't get the dialogue to show up again. I found these instructions online:
"Select Tools, Options, Projects and Solutions, Build and Run. Then set the option "On run, when build or deployment errors occur" to Prompt to Launch."
but that doesn't work. Resetting the IDE settings to default don't make any difference either.
Is there any way to get this dialogue back or has it gone forever?
Thanks,
K
Make sure that the key:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\9.0\General\RunAfterBuildErrors
is set to 2. The value 2 is associated with Prompt to launch and the value 1 with Do not launch.
