MSB3422 Failed to retrieve VC project information through the VC project engine object model. MSB342
- by Scott Langham
I'm getting the following errors from MSBuild while trying to build a solution:
C:\dev\MySln.sln : warning MSB3422: Failed to retrieve VC project information through the VC project engine object model. Unable to determine default tool for the specified file configuration.
C:\dev\MySln.sln : warning MSB3425: Could not resolve VC project reference "C:\dev\MyProj.vcproj".
Have you got any ideas on what's causing this? I've seen other postings about similar, but different errors such as when the MSB3422 error has a different message and shows "Illegal characters in path.", but I haven't seen any useful information about how to solve the error I'm getting where it says "Unable to determine default tool for the specified file configuration.".
Thanks.
I found this, but it doesn't really help:
