Summary0015418: Wrong encoding for generated .sln
DescriptionWhen generating Visual Studio 2008 projects using CMake 3.2.0-rc2, the generated solutions are UTF8-encoded.

This leads to Visual Studio not opening them anymore when double-clicking on the .sln file. Changing the encoding of the .sln file to ANSI resolves the problem.

The Visual Studio solutions should be generated using ANSI encoding to prevent this problem.

The problem is not the encoding but the byte order mark. This has been fixed:

 VS: Do not generate a BOM in .sln files

Oh yes, removing the BOM only did the trick. Thanks a lot for the quick response!
