Trouble compiling VB project in VS2005: Error with "Microsoft.Common.Targets" file. Plz Help.

Hello,

I am compiling a VB Project in VS2005 with SP1. This is the error that I am getting when I build this project.

12>C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\Microsoft.Common.targets(802,9): error MSB3108: Error executing the ResolveNonMSBuildProjectOutput task. An error occurred while parsing EntityName. Line 1, position 115.

Microsoft.Common.targets is a file present in WINDOWS folder and used internally by VS2005 while building the projects. I am not able to get any clue why this error has come. Plz help.

Hi Swapnil,

Could you carify your scenario to us?

1. Do you customize Process at Specific Points During Build?

2. If your project isn't so huge and after you recreated this project , whether this occurs again.

Best regards,
Riquel

I had this fault today for a C# project. But I could resolve it back to a '&' in my path. When I removed this from directory name it compiled again. So it seems you can't have a directory name with a '&' in it.

Maybe you have something similar?
