I'm running the following command (from exemple of the documentation)



msbuild "absolutepath	ofile.msbuild" -p:Environment=EnvironmentName


Any idea if there is something wrong, what to check?



The same package is deploying ok from visual studio

Hi Gauthier,


Please have a look here : http://www.k2underground.com/forums/thread/29146.aspx


I hope you will sort it out


For information, I was running wrong version of MSBUILD (on x64, it should be run from the Framework64 folder)

The next error is about the missing SourceCode.SmartObject.Authoring which should be deployed manually in the GAC


Excellent.


Thanks
