So I have a winform solution, deployed via clickonce.
Eveything worked fine until i added a WCF project. (see error in parsing the manifest file at end of post)
Now I notice that MSBuild compiles the service into a _PublishedWebsites dir.
I don't know what the need for this is, but I am suspecting this is the cause of the problem. This wcf project references some other projects within the solution.
I am actually hosting the wcf service within the application so I don't really need MSBuild to do all this for me.
Any ideas?
