    How does Visual Studio Selector Choose the version of Visual Studio to open a Project

    I read that the Visual Studio Selector chooses the version of Visual Studio based on the # Visual Studio Version specified in the .sln file. For example, # Visual Studio Version 17 refers to Visual Studio 2022, which controls the version number in the solution icon and indicates the version that most recently saved the file.

    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/vi...e?view=vs-2022

    If the specified version (e.g., # Visual Studio Version 17) is not installed on my PC, but I have both higher and lower versions of Visual Studio installed, how does the Visual Studio Selector decide which version to use? Will it always choose the higher version, or is there some other logic involved?

    Scenario:
    I have a project solution File that contains VS 2010 in solution file i.e. # Visual Studio Version 10, But I have Visual basic 2010, VS 2012 , VS 2017 Express Edition installed in my PC. My Visual Studio version selector chose VS 2012 IDE version to open this project, Why? What is the reason behind it ?
