To update the solution with the new project, in Solution Explorer, right-click the solution, and then click Check Out.

Steps to Reproduce Behavior
This step-by-step procedure uses computer A and computer B to reproduce the behavior.
 * 1) Computer A: Create a new Visual Basic .NET Project and add a setup project to the solution.
 * 2) Add the solution and projects to Source Code Control. To do this, in Solution Explorer, right-click the project, and then click Add solution to Source Control.
 * 3) Computer B: Open the solution from source control:

On the File menu, click SourceSafe, click Open From Source control, browse to the SourceSafe database, and then select the project that contains the solution file. You must specify the local folder in which to put the project.
 * 1) Computer B: Add another project (such as a Class Library project) to the solution, and when you receive the prompt to check out the solution, click Check out.
 * 2) Computer B: After you add the project to the solution, check in all the files. To do this, right-click the solution, and then click Check In.
 * 3) Computer A: On the Build menu, click Configuration Manager, and then toggle any check box in the Build column. A Check Out for Edit dialog box appears.
 * 4) Check out the solution. When you are prompted about whether to add the new project, click Yes.
 * 5) After the project has loaded, click Close on the Configuration Manager dialog box.

An unhandled exception causes Visual Studio .NET to shut down.
