Sharepoint 2010 Project package: Cannot add a new project output assembly to the package

When creating a Sharepoint 2010 project in VB.NET and wanting to deploy an additional referenced assembly you cannot add a new project output assembly to the package.

To replicate the issue:

  1. Open Sharepoint 2010 project in Visual Studio 2010
  2. Open "package\package.Package"
  3. Select "Advanced"
  4. In the Additional Assemblies area select "Add | Add assembly from Project Output..."

This error is then presented:

Cannot add a new project output assembly to the package.

The path is not of a legal form.

Any ideas on what the "path" is that is not "of a legal form"?
