Guidance actions are gone

Has anyone had a situation where the actions under the Guidance Package Manager are gone (for the Guidance Package Development)? 

Here's what I did:

I had an existing Guidance package that was not under source control.  I added everything to VSTS and then wiped the hard drive and reinstalled windows. I checked everything out again on the new image.  I installed the GAX and GAT msi's.

Here's what I get:

I can build the solution, but under the Guidance Package Manager I get nothing when I enable the Guidance Package Development package.  If I enable my package, I get my actions. 

Here's what I need:

Help.

Thanks!

From the GAT Wiki on Using Guidance Packages:

Development with Guidance Packages is designed to be performed in a single user/single computer environment. Much of the information stored by the Recipe Framework is found in the hidden .suo file, which is user-specific. The following information is stored in the .suo file:

  • Bound references and their initial state
  • Unbound references and their initial state
  • A list of clusters/packages that have been enabled on the solution (with version numbers)
  • For each Guidance Package, a flag that says if the binding recipe has been executed for that Guidance Package
  • Version information for the Guidance Package

You should not delete the .suo file, because it will cause the solution to lose this information.

.suo files are not checked-in to the SCC by default. Therefore, if you lose that file, you lose the information above, which includes the actions that were available in the solution.
