Why does mage not generate a compatibleFrameworks attribute

Question

We are using mage to generate our applications manifests as part of our build process. Upon upgrading to .Net 4 we now find it generates an invalid manifest.

The reason is there is no compatibleFrameworks attribute being set in the application manifest which we generate every build.

Is there anyway we can make Mage add this element of should we only ever update existing manifests

Answer 1

Hi,

Have you installed Visual Studio 2010? Are you using the Mage version that is in c:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\bin ?

Answer 2

Add this to your GenerateDeploymentManifest MSBuild task

   TargetFrameworkMoniker=".NETFramework,Version=v4.0"        

and that should fix it
