HRESULT '8000000A' in Visual Studio 2017

Question

_{Wednesday, August 21, 2019 11:05 AM}

I have created setup project for WPF application and need to setup automatic build.  So I am trying to build application from command project. I could not able to build setup project using following command. 

"Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Enterprise\Common7\IDE\devenv" D:\Projects\Pos.sln /rebuild "Release|Any CPU".

I have been receiving below error

Starting pre-build validation for project 'Pos.Setup'  
ERROR: An error occurred while validating.  HRESULT = '8000000A'

Pre-build validation for project 'Pos.Setup' completed
11> Rebuild All started: Project: Pos.Setup, Configuration: Release
========== Rebuild All: 10 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 skipped ==========

I tried with MSBuild. But msbuild will not support setup project (The project file "Pos.Setup.vdproj" is not supported by MSBuild and cannot be built). Am using visual studio installer -> Setup Project.

I have gone through the every website I could not able to find the answer.  Any help?

Hi KPam1234,

Please try to right click "Detected Dependencies" and "Refresh Dependencies" in "Solution Explorer".

And here I found a similar thread maybe you can refer to.

Hope this can help you.

After refreshing the dependencies also it is not working. the provided thread seems to be a workaround. should I go with third party packager?
