Choose which Visual Studio to open old .sln-s with Visual Studio Version Selector

I have both Visual Studio 2008 and 2010 installed, and VSLauncher correctly opens 9.0.sln-s with VS2008 and 10.0.sln-s with VS2010.

However, when it encounters an older .sln (e.g. 8.0), VSLauncher automatically selects Visual Studio 2010.

For various reasons, I would like to choose which VS it should open for conversion, but it blindly opens VS2010. I see that there RMB> Open With> Microsoft Visual Studio Version Selector, but this does not create a list of installed VS-es that I would expect, it just launches VS2010.

Is there a way to get the configuration I'm looking for?

Background Information:

  • They were installed in chronological order of release.
  • I am running windows 7 x64
  • Both VS-es are 32-bit

I think the justification for this behavior is:

If you have an “older” project (say, VS2005), then no matter what version of VS you use to open the project, there will be a conversion process.

With this in mind, it makes sense to convert to the latest version. Converting a VS2005 project to VS2010 is not much more complicated than converting it to VS2008, but after the conversion is complete, you will have more options.
