The target "Package" does not exist in the project - Web deploy installed

I have a build server build on Teamcity.

I'm trying to build a package using it, but I get an error.

The target "Package" does not exist in the project

I googled about this issue and found out I need to install Web Deploy. So I did. I've installed Web Deploy 3.5, but the error is still present. I've even did a reset.

Solution

  • This was top result on DuckDuckGo for me, so I feel this is an appropriate place to share Troy Hunt's wisdom. My "ProjectFile" was a Solution file. Solution files do not support the "Package" Target directly. My Build scripts (written in Cake in this case) were attempting to package the solution instead of the applicable projects.
