Unable to apply publish properties for item

[Frank Rizzo]

I get a ton of warning that are similar to "Unable to apply publish
properties for item "microsoft.visualstudio.shell.interop". The warning
appears for pretty much every reference. The application is a
click-once winform app.

How can I get rid of these warnings?

project properties -> publish -> application files; look for any
highlighted with warnings (try "show all files")

Basically, it just means that at some point you have tweaked settings
on a file that is no longer in the project; remove these settings from
the phantom files and it will stop moaning

Hi Frank,

Could you tell me what the Publish Status of those problematic items are?

FYI, to see the Publish Status of a file, right click the project in the
Solution Explorer and choose Properties. In the Property Designer, switch
to the Publish tab and click the Application Files button. In the
Application Files dialog, you can see the Publish Status.

You may have a try resetting the Publish Status of all problematic items in
the Application Files dialog to see if the problem goes away. To do this,
right click on one item and choose Reset.

Sincerely,
Linda Liu
