Question

I try to compile a project with msbuild.exe

I have this error :

vbc : error BC30136: Error creating Win32 resources: Error reading icon '"Recycle Bin Empty.ico"' -- The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.

This icon is the Application icon which is in the same directory of the project.

vbc is started with /win32icon:"Recycle Bin Empty.ico" parameter.
Don’t know why MSBuild can’t reach the file.

Thanks.

Answer 1

Couple of things to try

• Remove the spaces in the file name. Will eliminate any quoting issues
• Pass the fully qualified path to the file name. Will eliminate any relative path issues
