No outputs for project problem when using MSBuild
Hey guys,
I have a strange problem.
I have a solution that can build a installer file just fine from Visual Studio ! But when try do the same from MSBuild it comes with a "No outputs for project" error
C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\InstallShield\2013Limited\InstallShield.targets(
108,3): error : No outputs for project "IP.MVC" were provided, but the installa
tion project references "IP.MVC.Built". [E:\IP\Sitecore\Ekstern\EksternFilesIns
tallerIS\EksternFilesInstallerIS.isproj]
I have found a very old thread that says it can be caused by the dot in the project name.
My projects are all named but the company and project ex. IP.MVC & IP.Form and so on.
https://community.flexerasoftware.com/showthread.php?155710-Errors-in-build-with-MSBuild
I'm using Visual Studio 2013, and have just downloaded latest InstallShield LE
Please advise !!
Thanks
Jan

Hi Jan,
Are you trying to build the .isproj or the .sln?

Re: No outputs for project problem when using MSBuild
I tried both. Spend so many hours, so I gave up for now !
