Cannot load project

Hakan Axheim

Hi,

Don't know where to put this question because I use Visual Studio 2019. This was the closest category I found.

I have a solution with mulitple projects in VS 2019 where I can not load one of the projects.

Visual Studio gives me following error:

The imported project "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Professional\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v10.0\WebApplications\Microsoft.WebApplication.targets" was not found. Also, tried to find "Microsoft\VisualStudio\v10.0\WebApplications\Microsoft.WebApplication.targets" in the fallback search path(s) for $(MSBuildExtensionsPath32) - "C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild". These search paths ared defined in c:\Users\\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\16.0_e1e7b14d\devenv.exe.config". Confirm that the path in the declaration is correct, and that the file exists on disk in one of the search paths. C:\dev\Src\\

What can I do to solve this issue?

i guess the problem here with installation, which did not copied the Microsoft.WebApplication.targets file into C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Professional\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v10.0.

and your system envirnment variable is looking into this path , either you change the enviornment variable or re-install to right location.

Go to solution properties(Right click on solution and go to properties) and check the checkbox for multiple projects , start all the necessary projects (ex if it includes web api then it must set as start)
