Earlier you had mentioned that you were trying to load nunit20.sln, but here you
are loading nunit.sln . The *20.sln references vs2005 (msbuild) format
project files,
where nunit.sln references some vs2003 projects.
nunit20.sln loads up fine.

The addin doesn't provide native support for vs2003 projects. I should
be checking on the
"format version" on the .sln file i guess, and report a summary or
something of the errors.

Actually the addin does try to ensure that even if it is unable to load some
projects the rest do open. What it _doesn't_ do right now is show up failed
projects solution explorer in MD. I do have that on my todo :)

MD uses the correct directory seperator for the files/directories. I'm not sure
what nant does, but i don't think that relates to MD here.

Thanks for testing :)
