SharePoint deployment failure using VS2008 on the comannd line

Question

I am trying to implement a nightly build environment for our SharePoint solution that includes VS 2008 and VS 2008 extensions for Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 (version 1.2). When I deploy via the VS 2008 GUI it works fine. When I use the command line:

c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe SharePoint.sln /Deploy Release

I get the following error:

------ Deploy started: Project: SharePoint.Site, Configuration: Release Any CPU ------
------ Generate solution file and setup batch file ------
Creating solution ...
System.NotImplementedException
Error: The method or operation is not implemented.

Others seem to be having similar issues.

Answer 1

VSeWSS 1.2 doesn't support command line builds. I would either try the CTP for VSeWSS 1.3 or a community tool like STSDev or WSPBuilder.
