Identically-named project files in the same solution may overwrite one another when you create a new deployment report in Visual Studio 2005 Team System Architect Edition (913448)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Team System Architect Edition

SYMPTOMS

When you use Deployment Designer to create a new deployment report in Visual Studio 2005 Team Architect Edition, identically-named project files in the same solution may overwrite one another. This problem occurs if the projects share the same folder name on the hard disk.

CAUSE

When you create a deployment report, you can copy project files from the solution to a specified output location and overwrite any existing project files. These project files are copied from their source folders to project subfolders in the specified output location. If the solution contains projects whose source folders have the same name on the hard disk, even if they are in different parent folders, only a single project subdirectory is created at the output location for these projects. This conflict may cause these project files to overwrite one another.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this problem, make sure that all projects reside in uniquely-named folders on the hard disk.

Note If you rename projects in Solution Explorer, their folder names on the hard disk do not change.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section.
