Unable to read manifest Properties\app.manifest

Question

While building a C#.net application in VS studio 2013 i am getting the following error

Unable to read manifest Properties\app.manifest.Could not find file C:\Project\Properties\app.manifest

In project Settings i selected option "build Project without a manifest" but still getting the same error.

Solution 1

I fixed this by myself by deleting app.mainfest in visual studio which is showing up in properties folder.

Solution 2

Late in the party but, Actually this file is mentioned in cs.proj file and your project is looking for this file.

What I did is , I have removed app.manifest reference in my cs.proj file as it is not needed to me , added by someone.

Open your cs.proj file in notepad and remove below mentioned line

This did the trick for me.
