Why does Mage.exe not generate a compatibleFrameworks attribute?

We are using Mage.exe to generate our application's manifests as part of our build process. Upon upgrading to .NET 4 we now find it generates an invalid manifest.

The reason is there isn't a compatibleFrameworks attribute being set in the application manifest which we generate every build.

Is there a way we can make Mage.exe add this element or should we only ever update existing manifests?

Solution

  • Add this to your GenerateDeploymentManifest MSBuild task

       TargetFrameworkMoniker=".NETFramework,Version=v4.0"

    and that should fix it
