Unable to build project output group 'Content Files from ThisProjectName (Active)’

When I try to build an application for web deployment I get an error;

Unable to build project output group 'Content Files from ProjectNET (Active). The error is prefixed by;

C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\VSWebCache\MAINCOMP002\ProjectNET\ProjectNetDeploy\ProjectNetDeploy.vdproj

Any ideas. The project builds OK by itself withoug using the "Web Setup Project" Template

I had the same problem when I try to compile my setup project.

From what I found out the problem is rising when you ask the setup

Project to be deployed as Release and the web project is compile in debug mode

All you have to do is make sure they share the same build instruction, first compile

Your web project and then compile your web setup project

Solution

a) Remove all the referenced files in the project that are not present in the designated physical path. These files have a yellow icon displayed next to it in Solution explorer. Expand all your project related folders like Images, Docs, References etc. and exclude all the files with yellow icon next to it from the project.

b) Rebuild the Application and then Rebuild the Setup and Deployment Project.

c) You should be able to build the setup successfully now.
