Hello All,

I am trying my hands on PCF control and while generating zip files by using command msbuild, I am getting below error.

Error- The target "CreateManifestResourceNames" does not exist in the project. [D:powercomponent\powercomponent.pcfprj]

using VS 2017

Did anyone faced this before?

Thanks,

Mridula

My internet had to be on Microsoft VPN to connect to our nuget package feed.

For those still running into this issue, the fix seems to be to run the following command from a command prompt either in the root of the project folder or the 'Solutions' folder:

msbuild /t:build /restore

Got this fix from the last comment in the following issue: https://github.com/microsoft/MSBuildSdks/issues/120#issuecomment-840713734

Hi Mridula ,

Friend of mine had the same issue, I was able to fix it by installing

.Net Framework 4.6.2 SDK &&

.Net Framework 4.6.2 targeting pack

please follow the below steps

Step 1 : Open visual studio installer and click modify

Step 2 : Select individual components and make sure .Net Framework 4.6.2 SDK &&

.Net Framework 4.6.2 targeting pack are checked.

Step 3 : (optional)Under code tools make sure NuGet package Manager and Nuget targets and build tasks are checked and click modify.

make sure that you have your visual studio msbuild added in environment variables. In my case it was

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Professional\MSBuild\15.0\Bin

Hope this help you... please let me know if you need any assistance in adding environment build...
