I have a build in our Team Foundation server which gives this warring:

 C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\Microsoft.Common.targets (610): The OutputPath property is not set for project 'Plugin.DeploymentTool.csproj'. Please check to make sure that you have specified a valid combination of Configuration and Platform for this project. Configuration='Release' Platform='x86'. You may be seeing this message because you are trying to build a project without a solution file, and have specified a non-default Configuration or Platform that doesn't exist for this project.

I can't find any solution or why i get this error. But then i look at the generated zip file, the Binary folder are empty. I have tried to use the x86, x64 and Any CPU, to se if there are are any difference, which there are not.

If i look into the project file, it looks okay.

XML

<PropertyGroup Condition=" '$(Configuration)|$(Platform)' == 'Debug|AnyCPU' ">
    <DebugSymbols>true</DebugSymbols>
    <DebugType>full</DebugType>
    <Optimize>false</Optimize>
    <OutputPath>bin\Debug\</OutputPath>
    <DefineConstants>DEBUG;TRACE</DefineConstants>
    <ErrorReport>prompt</ErrorReport>
    <WarningLevel>4</WarningLevel>
  </PropertyGroup>
  <PropertyGroup Condition=" '$(Configuration)|$(Platform)' == 'Release|AnyCPU' ">
    <DebugType>pdbonly</DebugType>
    <Optimize>true</Optimize>
    <OutputPath>bin\Release\</OutputPath>
    <DefineConstants>TRACE</DefineConstants>
    <ErrorReport>prompt</ErrorReport>
    <WarningLevel>4</WarningLevel>
  </PropertyGroup>

I have found a solution to the problem, which turns out to be a pretty simple one. The default Configuration in TFS Build look like this: Configuration: Release, Platform: Any CPU

But in Visual Studio 2012 it looks like this: Configuration: Release, Platform: AnyCPU

The solution is to remove the space between Any and CPU in the TFS Build Platform. Now it works perfectly.
