Method not found: 'Int32 Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UITest.Extension.UITestUtilities.get_IEVersion()'.

Question

I am trying to use Coded UI record and play back for a web application. If I create a new solution and a project and record and play back, it works fine.
 But when I try to add a new Coded UI project to an existing solution and try to the record and play back, the play back fails with the following error:
 Test Name: Login1
 Test FullName: Test.LoginNS.Login1
 Test Source: c:\CodedUITestProject1\Test\Login.cs : line 29
 Test Outcome: Failed
 Test Duration: 0:00:06.0481823
 Result Message:
 Test method TestWebUI.LoginNS.Login1 threw exception:
 System.MissingMethodException: Method not found: 'Int32 Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UITest.Extension.UITestUtilities.get_IEVersion()'.
 I looked at the version of the dll "Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UITest.Extension" and its 11.0.
 Any pointers or help would be really appreciated.

Hi singhguru87,
Thanks for posting in the MSDN forum.

The real issue is that whether there are other projects in your existing solution, if so, how about unloading the other projects one by one? So we could know that whether other projects impact this coded UI test project.
Or you could take a backup for your solution , and then copy other projects from existing one to your new solution which works well, how about the results?
Please compare the new coded UI test code with the previous new one, do you make sure that they have the same code?
Please also compare the project property like .NET Framework version and Platform target (Any CPU/X86/X64).
If still no help, please collect the detailed coded UI test log, maybe you could get more useful information.
