Question

Cannot run a web performance test in Visual Studio 2010 an error occurred writing Web test file c:\users\....:Exception has been thrown by target of an invocation.. The web test results will be lost if the Web test results viewer is closed.

Running Windows 7, Visual Studio Ultimate. Started Visual Studio as an administrator. Navigated to Test --> New Test --> Web Performance Test. created a test to a website and ran it and came back with above error. I can't seem to find anything of value on what may be going on here.

Thanks

Hi again,

 

I think it is a VSTS issue, I'm going to move it for better support.
