Question

I feel guilty asking a question like this around here, but I\'m at a loss and would appreciate some help.

A proof-of-concept like web application was built on one PC

Answer 1

Problem hides on TFS, you need to remove folder TestProject...\packages from TFS, check in, delete it from your local dir and build again. Worked!

Answer 2

In my case: this works for me.

It turns out my teammate had already started looking into Windows 10 development and had Microsoft Build Tools 2015 installed on his machine.

I installed the software from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=48159 and the problem was solved.

Answer 3

Deleting the package and cleaning the solution solved it for me.

Answer 4

Use the below step:

1) Delete the package folder.
2) close the visual studio.
3) open the project and rebuild the project.

Answer 5

In vs2017 community there appeared a new item in the "build" menu. It disappeared after I used it and was called something like "Optimise project build packages". I clicked it and it fixed everything, just restart etc. I did it on two machines.

What it did was removed Microsoft.net.compilers 2.10.0 and replaced with Microsoft.CodeDom.Providers.DotNetCompilerPlatform 2.0.1

So there you go - more automagic...

Answer 6

Re-build, clean solution and restart Visual Studio worked for me.
