Unable to build project output group 'Content Files from SOMEWEB (Active)'
I have been working on one of my projects in VB. Working on getting the application running as an install process. When I started trying to compile, I started getting the following error:-
Unable to build project output group 'Content Files from SOMEWEB (Active)'
Doing a search on the Web I found a page that helps. It is on Artima, and tells me that this is Microsoft's way of telling me that it cannot find some sort of content file. The solution is simple once you know. All you need to do is to turn on 'Show All Files' and open every folder until you find one with the Yellow Yield Icon. This subtle tip is telling you that this file doesn't exist on disk, but it does exist in the Project. Right-Click on it and Exclude From Project.
When the MSI Installer builder can't find a file marked as Content, it borks.
