Package Not Created Modified By Ed Zappulla on 12/7/2012 2:58:41 PM

Hi, I have a working module and want to package it up. I've installed MSBuild.Community.Tasks.v1.4.0.42.msi and have run a release build. However, a DesktopModules\my module\package folder is not created. VS 2012 DNN 7. Any ideas?

Re: Package Not Created

Make that VS 2010 not 2012. I also noticed that there isn't a module.targets file generated.

Re: Package Not Created

Re: Package Not Created

It looks fine to me. I created a new test2 project using the C# templates; modified the manifest for the source folder name; changed the project properties | applications to .NET 4; no other changes and rebuilt a release version. Same behavior. No package folder. No .targets file.
