rlinq file fails to open

Tonight I updated to the latest version of Open Access (2014.2.711.1).  When I started Visual Studio 2013 and opened my project, I attempted to click on the MyModel.rlinq file in my project.  When I do, I get the following error message:

Cannot load "C:\...\MyModel.rlinq': Could not load file or assembly 'Telerik.OpenAccess.Dsl.12, Version 2014.2.617.2, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=...' or one of its dependencies. The located assembly's manifest definition does not match the assembly reference. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131040)

I tried Clicking 'TELERIK DATA ACCESS -> Upgrade References' And get the same results.  Any idea on where this reference needs to get updated?

Hello Scott,

I am sorry for your inconvenience.

In general, the error means that Visual Studio tries to load a package that is no longer available. On our side, however, we are unable to reproduce it, which postpones a fix for the cause. Nevertheless, you can resolve it by running the following command through Developer Command Prompt for VS2012 or Developer Command Prompt for VS2013, depending on the version of Visual Studio you use:

devenv /setup

The shortcuts for starting Developer Command Prompt can be found in:
- For VS2013 - <install directory>\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\Tools\Shortcuts\Developer Command Prompt for VS2013. Here <install directory> most commonly is C:\Program Files.
- For VS 2012 - <windows directory>\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Microsoft Visual Studio 2012\Visual Studio Tools\Developer Command Prompt for VS2012. Here <windows directory> most commonly is C:\.

Do let us know if the error persists after running the command.
