I'm getting this error when building my project, and I can't fix it. I have two solutions with the same setup projects referenced in both, and probably thus, the problem.
I googled, I look it up here in StackOverflow, and did all what people said that should be done: removing and readding references, and a long etcetera.
I will paste here my output hoping that someone can throw a little ray of hope on me, please..
thanks a lot everybody in advance.
Best, Manuel.
