MSBuild target package not found

Question

I want to package my VS2010 web application project ready for deployment with msdeploy. On development machine I can do this using:

MSBuild.exe \"C:\\path\\t         


        

Answer 1

You need to have .Net 4.0 installed on the build server. The .Net 4.0 install will put the new MSBuild 4.0 which supports packaging web application projects.

Also, when you are running msbuild.exe make sure you are running the one that sits in the .Net 4.0 framework folder.
