Packaging Project errors: 'Conflicting values for resource' and 'Duplicate Entry'

I'm trying to package my UWP app with desktop extensions and was told here that it's impossible to do that without a Packaging Project. But when I add a Packaging Project, and set it to the UWP project and the Win32 project, I get the following errors. Note that this is all that Visual Studio is giving me. No line numbers, etc.

Error PRI277 0xdef00532 - Conflicting values for resource '' myFolderPath\UwpPackager\GENERATEPROJECTPRIFILE 1

(That's not a double quote. It's 2 quotes.)

And

Error Duplicate Entry. myFolderPath\UwpPackager\error PRI175 1

What do these errors mean?

Solution

  • After much testing it turned out to be the 'Assets' folder that was automatically created withing the packaging project.

    I excluded the folder and that error is gone.

    EDIT

    According to a comment elsewhere I need to have the assets in the packaging project because that's what's going to be published.
