Trying to publish WPF App but getting error
I'm trying to publish a WPF C# application so that I get it's .exe but I keep getting that error.
The command I ran was
dotnet publish -c Release
MSBuild.exe was not present in the folder give in error so from somewhere of Visual Studio folder I found MSBuild.exe and copy pasted it in that folder and still getting the exact same error.20 Replies
can you show the csproj for the app?

I mean the actual text of the csproj
oh
how exactly do i open the csproj to see its text
though, based on packages.config that looks suspiciously like a Framework project
should be an option in the right click, or just open it in something like notepad
yes its a .NET Framework 4.7.2 project
k
yeah that's why
dotnet doesn't really work well with Framework projects
use msbuild from the VS Command Prompt, or publish from Visual Studiooh
yep, typical Framework csproj
a giant mess
i tried publishing from visual studio but i just cant find the right options, all i want is an executable file but it gives options like cd/dvd, file share etc
isn't there a folder option?
i dont think so
show a screenshot
oh, huh
try the CD option? might just put files somewhere
