build error with devenv

Hi all,

I created a setup project and tried to compile it as below using devenv.
devenv c:projects\src\Setup.sln /build release

but this gives the error "Unable to open project c:projects\src\Setup.vdproj"

This is when i use 2005. But this process was successfull in 2003.

I want to know whether this is a known issue in 2005.

Thanks in advance.

Are you using beta2? Would you be able to use the June or July CTP to see if this is still the case?

I just searched through our bug database, and found that there was an issue with beta2 where this would happen if you project was in source code control. Can you unbind from SCC and try the same thing as an experiment? I just want to make sure that this is not a different bug, and that you can actually build if the projects are not in SCC.

Let us know what you find.

Thanks.

I checked my solution . But it is not added to the Source Control. I mean at the time of creation of the project i didnt select the check box "Add to source control".

I think the issue is still there even if its not binded to a Source Control.
I used 2005 beta. ( .net frame work Version 2.0.50215)

Hope you will get back to me .

Thanks,
Bimali

Bimali,
There was a bug in devenv.exe in Beta 2 that prevented deployment projects from being built on the command line.

This has subsequently been fixed -- I apologize for the inconvenience.

Try the July Community Tech Preview if you're an MSDN subscriber .. it likely has the fix.
