Does anyone know what this means? I am getting this error in my CI build (CruiseControl.Net + NAnt + MSBuild), locally this project compiles just fine...
My.Web.csproj: Error MSB4014: The build was aborted because of an internal failure.

Unexpected error while compiling project 'My.Web'
Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation.
MSB0001: Internal MSBuild Error: refCount should not be less than 1.
Found the solution: instead of using <solution> in the build target I called msbuild directly with <exec>. Everything works now.
