EntryPoint not specified for manifest – VS 2008 SP1 (beta)

Wednesday, July 30, 2008 1:06:15 PM

Just for your information if you have tried the .NET MF 3.0 beta 2 with Visual Studio 2008 and installed SP1 beta: when trying to compile a console or window application (library projects are ok) you’ll get an error message after compiling:

C:\…\Microsoft.Common.targets(2341, 9): error MSB3185: EntryPoint not specified for manifest.
Done building project "MFConsoleApplication1.csproj" -- FAILED.

The Microsoft.Common.targets EntryPoint looks like this:
EntryPoint="@(_DeploymentResolvedManifestEntryPoint)"

The .NET MF team is not testing against VS 2008 SP1 beta and this issue will be resolved before release, of course. Well, I'm using a Virtual PC, now, as I have already SP1 installed.

Thank you so much for the post!, Saved me a bunch of time. definitely a bummer SP1 is important for silverlight work, so perhaps I'll put this off ( or go set up a Virtual PC as you say) Any estimates of when a Beta 3 might be out? thnaks
