Well it's close but not quite there! I've installed the .NET Development components from the SDK but I still cannot perform a Web Deployment build.
Hunting around I found that the wdproj file (the Web Deployment Projects file) imports Microsoft.WebDeployment.targets from ProgFiles \MSBuild\Microsoft\WebDeployment\v10.0 and this file resolves the location of the aspnet_merge file to be in the same folder - but it's not there! The SDK has installed it in ProgFiles\Microsoft SDKs\Windows \v7.1\bin. Now I've updated the Microsoft.WebDeployment.targets to point to the actual location of the aspnet_merge file and the build succeeds - but I'm wary of the fact that I have edited what is essentially a system file! I'd appreciate your feedback on this one. Is there something that I may not have done correctly during the installation of .NET4.0, the Web Deployment Projects extension or the SDK? Or is this a reasonable 'hack' to get things working?
