I am trying to build a Web Deployment Project in Visual Studio 2008 and it keeps failing and I am not sure why. Error:
------ Build started: Project: website_deploy, Configuration: Release Any CPU ------
if exist ".\TempBuildDir\" rd /s /q ".\TempBuildDir\"
'C:\Documents' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
C:\Program Files\MSBuild\Microsoft\WebDeployment\v9.0\Microsoft.WebDeployment.targets(92,7): error MSB3073: The command "if exist ".\TempBuildDir\" rd /s /q ".\TempBuildDir\"" exited with code 1.
Done building project "website_deploy.wdproj" -- FAILED.
========== Build: 1 succeeded or up-to-date, 1 failed, 0 skipped ==========
I have the same project on another machine and it builds just fine. I have downloaded Visual Studio 2008 Web Deployment Projects - RTW and installed Service Pack 1 for Visual Studio 2008.
Edit:
In the error list, it has Error 1 The command "if exist ".\TempBuildDir\" rd /s /q ".\TempBuildDir\"" exited with code 1.
. I don't know why it is coming up with C:\Documents
as the project is in a folder without spaces (C:\Web\Projects\
)
It happens with a brand new web deployment project, created by right-clicking on the website and clicking Add Web Deployment Project
.
Edit (29 Jan). More verbose output, failes whenever <exec>
with if exist
is used:
