If you have installed SharePoint 2013 and SharePoint 2010 side by side then sometimes when you click on Open site in SharePoint 2013 designer, it will crash.
Before looking at the solution, you can check out my previous posts on:
- Hide ribbon in InfoPath form in SharePoint 2013
- SharePoint 2010 Centered Fixed Width Design
- New ways to work with video and rich media in SharePoint 2013
I do not know whether it is a feasible solution or not but you can modify the registry entry to solve this error like below:
click on Start -> Run -> Regedit
Then check the ClientGUID value in registry for both SharePoint 2013 and SharePoint 2010.
For SharePoint 2010 designer:
Open the below location:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Common\Open Find\Microsoft SharePoint Designer\Settings\Open Site
For SharePoint 2013 designer:
Open the below location:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Common\Open Find\Microsoft SharePoint Designer\Settings\Open Site
If both the values are same then delete both the values
It should work now !
