The OutputPath property is not set for project

Question

Building my Jenkins/MSBuild solution gives me this error

c:\\WINDOWS\\Microsoft.NET\\Framework\\v4.0.30319\\Microsoft.Common.targets(483,9): error : 
The OutputP         


        

Answer 1

In my case this error happened because the output folder included a dot to make it relative to the current directory. The problem was solved by removing the dot.

The offending Build output path was:

.\bin\Output

The problem was solved by changing it to

bin\Output

The build output path can be found in the Build tab of the project properties, and there is a different path for each combination of Configuration and Platform.
