I tried to reproduce the problem again last night by getting a changeset which showed the problem but, of course, everything is working now. *sigh*
We use subversion here. I have two Intel Xeon 3GHz procs with 2GB RAM. I'm running Windows Server 2008 but a colleague first saw the problem on his system (don't know his specs). We are also using TeamCity and I had been seeing odd File is corrupt error messages from the TeamCity Visual Studio add-in for files in our installer tree but was unable to figure out which ones it was complaining about because the dialog was not resizable. My first try was to uninstall that add-in but it didn't help the Internal MSBuild Errors. Actually, that reminds me that I have TestDriven.NET and other team members have other add-ins installed. I wonder if there's an odd collaboration at play here... -- Edwin > -----Original Message----- > From: John H.
