Unable to Edit a deployed C# project in VS from AOT

In my test system when I edit a C# project via the AOT in AX 2012 (R2 CU6) it should open the project in Visual Studio, however it shows the project as unavailable in VS.

I can see the AOT object in the Application Explorer in Visual Studio (2010), I can edit and deploy reports and can debug classes in VS - so the link to the AOT is there and working.

I have tried removing and reinstalling the VS AX tools via AX Component Setup.

I was getting 'The specified client configuration does not contain valid WCF settings' error - but fixed this (as no longer getting the error) using Justin Carter's excellent blog on the subject

Did you try to run AX as administrator? – FH-Inway May 12 '16 at 11:35
Do you mean as a domain administrator? As my user already is. – Peter Campbell May 12 '16 at 11:39
Ok, but did you run the AX client application as administrator (right click, run as administrator)? – FH-Inway May 12 '16 at 11:41
@FH-Inway - tried that and no difference – Peter Campbell May 12 '16 at 13:14
Are you in the correct layer? (`CUS` vs `USR`)? If you're in a test system, you're likely in the `USR` layer and if the project is in the `CUS` layer, that might be an issue. What do you mean "unavailable"? – Alex Kwitny May 12 '16 at 13:40
Yes i'm in the USR layer - the project in VS has (unavailable) next to it in solution explorer – Peter Campbell May 12 '16 at 13:46
@AlexKwitny how do I change to the CUS layer and why can't I access it in the USR layer? – Peter Campbell May 12 '16 at 13:51
@PeterCampbell - You need to have the layer access key, then you follow these directions https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa673975.aspx – Alex Kwitny May 12 '16 at 14:00
@AlexKwitny where does the layer access key come from? – Peter Campbell May 12 '16 at 14:06
You have to get it from your partner or lcs. It sounds like you shouldn't be doing this development. – Alex Kwitny May 12 '16 at 14:21
