Unable to apply publish properties for items?

[Ronald S. Cook]

I get the below warnings when I build my project.

Unable to apply publish properties for item "microsoft.transactions.bridge".
Unable to apply publish properties for item "system.identitymodel".
Unable to apply publish properties for item
"system.identitymodel.selectors".
Unable to apply publish properties for item "system.runtime.serialization".
Unable to apply publish properties for item "system.servicemodel".

Can anyone tell me how to resolve them?

Thanks!
Ron

It just means that settings have been set previously that can no
longer be resolved because the files no longer exist; to stop the
warning, go into project projecties => Publish => Application Files...
You might need to check "Show all files"; the ones with issues will
appear with a yellow triangle - IIRC you can right-click and remove
them.

This tends to happen when upgrading a 3.0/VS2005 project to VS2008
(i.e. you have the 3.5 runtime installed, even if you are still
targetting 2.0/3.0).

Are you deploying your project via ClickOnce?
