Vault 2005 Web Project Error

I'm having trouble with the get latest command in a web project specifically. I have a solution with 26 projects in it, one of which is a web project. I can do a get latest on all of it with no problem except the solution file with recursive on, and the web project. If I only do the directories and files in the web project then it works fine. However this means I have to go to the vault client to ever get a new version of the solution file. I've attached a screen shot of the error message that I get. Why do I get this error? How can I fix it?

The other significant problem we are having here is that it keeps wanting to add the binary files under the bin directory into vault. Which then seems to make it want to check out web.config every time. It will be working ok, then it will decide that I need to check in the dll's or pdb or .refresh files because they are new. This shouldnt hapen as far as I understand it, should it?

I'm using Vault version 3.1.7.

For the Get Latest issue, there have been other reports of VS2005 crashing during a Get Latest on very large projects, but they all seem to happen within Visual Studio. You can turn on Vault client logging and see whether you get the same results. Another possibility is sending us the entire solution so we could try to reproduce it here. However, I would also suggest following up with Microsoft on their forums as well.

In fact, in doing so, I found this issue: http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/productfe ... 57d52d38f9
so you may want to poke around there.

The bin folder issue also traces back to Visual Studio. See here for recent discussions of it:
