Have been trying to build a solution which contains a number of projects and keep getting a recurring error.
I have managed to get the build to partially succeed but always get the error shown below:
C:\Builds\1\MBS.Payments.Forms.Mvc\MBS Payment Forms MVC\Sources\MBS.Payments.Forms.Mvc\MBS.Forms.Payments.Web\MBS.Forms.Payments.Web.csproj (979): The imported project "C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v11.0\WebApplications\Microsoft.WebApplication.targets" was not found. Confirm that the path in the declaration is correct, and that the file exists on disk.
I have navigated to the file in which the error is being generated where this code is highlighted:
<Import Project="$(VSToolsPath)\WebApplications\Microsoft.WebApplication.targets" Condition="'$(VSToolsPath)' != ''" />
Currently I have both Visual Studio 2010 Premium and a evaluation version of Visual Studio 2012 Ultimate installed, I am currently working on this application in Visual Studio 2010.
below is the code block in which the erroneous code is found:
<PropertyGroup>
<VisualStudioVersion Condition="'$(VisualStudioVersion)' == ''">10.0</VisualStudioVersion>
<VSToolsPath Condition="'$(VSToolsPath)' == ''">$(MSBuildExtensionsPath32)\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v$(VisualStudioVersion)</VSToolsPath>
Please could anyone advise on why this error is being generated and how it could be resolved.
the <PropertyGroup></PropertyGroup> tag gets added to the project file when you open it in Visual Studio 2012, I was able to open the project file in a text editor, remove the PropertyGroup and it built successfully
