Error WAT200: No default service configuration "ServiceConfiguration.cscfg" could be found in the project


After installing Visual Studio Enterprise 2017 (Version 15.1 (26403.7)) my Azure Cloud Service does no longer build and gives me the 'Error WAT200: No default service configuration "ServiceConfiguration.cscfg" could be found in the project'. Although it still works fine with Visual Studio Enterprise 2015. (The right TargetProfile is also specified...)


Solution

  • Ok I found it, after disabling the 'Lightweight Solution Load' (which in VS 2017 u can disable by right click on the Solution and then Disable Lightweight Solution Load), the error disappears and the Cloud Service builds again.
