“the outputpath property is not set for this project” error

Question

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\" configura

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

I created a new project in a new solution which references to existing projects. This error occurs when I add an existing project (say project 1) and try to build without adding other projects that project 1 references to.

Just make sure all the relating projects are added to the new solution and the error disappears.

Answer 3

I had the same problem, and the only solution that helps was to set the Build Configuration Manually in each NCrunch Project.

Open the NCrunch Window, where you can see the Status of each Build and where you can see that the build failes. Right click on the project that fails to build and click on "configure selected component" there you see under "Build Settings" the property "Use build confoguration" set it to e.g. "Debug" and the property "Use build platform" set it to e.g. "AnyCPU". (Please note that the build and configuration settings you set must exist in your konfigration Settings)

Do this for all of your projects, but not for your test project. After this everything works fine for me.
