Summary

0015440: "Visual Studio Version Selector" launches incorrect version when opening generated UTF-8 solution file.

Description

Since solution (*.sln) files are encoded as UTF-8 (with signature), "Visual Studio Version Selector" doesn't detect the file format version correctly.

Opening the file with an editor, then saving it as UTF-8 (without signature) fixes the problem.

Steps To Reproduce

1. Install "Visual Studio 12 2013"
2. Install "Visual Studio 14 2015"
3. Install "CMake 3.2.0-rc2"
4. Generate a solution file using the "Visual Studio 12 2013" generator.
5. Double-click solution file in Explorer.

Actual:

6. "Visual Studio 14 2015" is launched.
7. Solution file icon shows no version number in Explorer.

Expected:

6. "Visual Studio 12 2013" is launched.
7. Solution file icon shows correct version number in Explorer.

Workaround:

1. Use Notepad2 to open/save solution file with encoding "UTF-8" (_not_ "UTF-8 with Signature")
2. Double-click solution file in Explorer.
3. "Visual Studio 12 2013" is launched.
4. Solution file icon shows correct version number in Explorer.
