Invalid Project in console after moving solution

Our solution file was in a project folder, so I did a saveas and moved it up to the main folder. Now, when we run against the devenv via console commands we get Invalid project. But, only for 2010 and not 2012. Some developers are using 2010 and others using 2012, so we need to be able to support both. I cannot seem to find anything on this error, and it is especially odd because the only change I made was to the solution file.

UPDATE

OK, this is odd...I just found that I do not get the error if I run devenv from the same directory as the sln. However, I need to be able to run it from another directory using ..\SLN

Feel free to close as too specific, however I think this could be useful to others down the road. The problem is that when the solution was in a nested folder, then doing the following was fine:

devenv ..\sln /project ..\projfolder\proj

However, when I moved the solution I only changed the solution path

devenv sln /project ..\projfolder\proj

But, the project path is relative to the solution, not my current executing path. So, I changed the command to the following and it worked:

devenv sln /project projfolder\proj
