Load tests cannot be completed because Visual Studio opens them using the xml editor

Question

Usually, when I open the .loadtest file in Visual Studio, the file opens with a graphical interface that allows me, among other things, to perform load tests. I am using Visual Studio 2010 on another machine, and the loadtest file is opened using the xml editor. How to force Visual Studio to open a file using the load test GUI?

I can’t find any load load GUI parameter when I right-click on a file and select “open with”.

Short version. You can restore Visual Studio file associations by opening Visual Studio 2010 and selecting "Tools-> Options-> Environment-> General" and clicking the "Restore Files" button.

You may need to run Visual Studio as an administrator for these options to take effect correctly. (Right-click the Visual Studio icon, select Run as Administrator).

As noted above, if you have a lower Visual Studio 2010 SKU than Ultimate, it may not bind this file type.
