Visual Studio skips build

When I try to build my project I get the following message in the build window :

========== Build: 0 succeeded or up-to-date, 0 failed, 1 skipped ==========

I tried rebuilding , then building again , but it doesn't help . Is there a way to view more detailed messages ? The "skipped" part doesn't give me any info on what's wrong . I am using Visual Studio 2005 Professional Edition .

Hmmm... I remember cursing at that one once? Just guessing from my awful memory, but perhaps the output directory path doesn't exist?

It was marked for build.

I generally run into that when the PC is low on resources (RAM), after closing things the build runs fine.

Resources are normal.

Check with the configuration manager like CMS said and make sure that you have the right platform set. A lot of the time when you use something like the MS Application Blocks the default platform is set to Itanium.

And what it should be set to ?

Geo 2008-12-13 20:24:46

depends on your machine but in most cases it would win32

Coentje 2008-12-13 20:25:32

Or else Any CPU like in CMS' screenshot

Coentje 2008-12-13 20:27:35

That was it ! I changed it to Win32 and the build started . Thanks !
