I’m trying to use the VssGet task of the MSBuild Community Tasks, and the error message ‘File or project not found’ is beating me with a stick. I can’t figure out what in particular the error message is referring to. Here’s the task:

<LocalFilePath Include='C:\Documents and Settings\michaelc\My Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Projects\Astronom\Astronom.sln' />  <VssGet DatabasePath='\\ofmapoly003\Individual\michaelc\VSS\Astronom_VSS\srcsafe.ini'       Path='$/Astronom_VSS'          LocalPath='@(LocalFilePath)'          UserName='build' Password='build'       Recursive='True' />

If I write a Streamreader to read to either the database path or the local path, it succeeds fine. So the path to everything appears to be accessible. Any ideas?

  1. Two thoughts. One, sometimes a type load exception manifests as a FNF – let’s hope that’s not it. But if the code is actually being honest, you can track the problem using Procmon or Filemon. Start one of those utilities and then run your task again. You should be able to track down a record of a file that couldn’t be located.
