I have a multi project solution in Visual Studio 2008. I just added a new Configuration called Release-VersionIncrement to the solution, specifying "use release" configuration as baseline. All project files were updated with that configuration. However, when I am trying to compile a specific project using this configuration, I get the following error:
Error 5 The OutputPath property is not set for this project. Please check to make sure that you have specified a valid Configuration/Platform combination. Configuration='Release-VersionIncrement' Platform='AnyCPU' C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.5\Microsoft.Common.targets 539 9 DataConversion
What's happening here? The project compiles fine in Release or Debug configuration.
In my case the new "PropertyGroup" XML block was generated at the bottom of document. I've just replaced it after other "PropertyGroup" tags and this resolved the problem.
