PLEASE HELP: Web Deployment Wizard is whacked out!

[Bobby Edward]

I run the Web Deployment Wizard fine earlier this week. Come back and make
a few MINOR HTML changes and go to "Rebuild" it and I get some wierd
error...

An error occurred when merging assemblies: ILMerge.Merge: ERROR!!:
Duplicate type 'MasterPage' found in assembly 'App_Web_yarpwypi'.

Because of the lack of the newsgroup response I deleted the MasterPage and
recreated it under a different name. Now when I go to rebuild it I get
ANOTHER wierd error:

web.config(1): error WDP00002: missing section appSettings.

The file is Microsoft.WebDeployment.targets, which I didn't even know
existed. I changed NOTHING having to do with anything like this.

Then I get a WHOLE lot of new "warnings"/compatability related messages in
my master HTML (which are fixed if I delete the !DOCTYPE statement.)

Any thoughts on what's going on??? This is completely frustrating!!!!

Thanks.

Do you have an appSettings section in your web.config?

Thanks for the reply. Yes I do.

I actually REMOVED the Web Deployment Projects and reinstalled it with the
newest version. It worked.

Thanks y'all!
