3 years ago For anyone interested here's how I solved it. I changed the target framework from
"
I'm not sure if this was the best way to handle it but it seems to have worked.
I feel like it should be done automatically by the publishing program.

3 years ago I'm not quite following what your scenario is from the original description, do you have a WPF project referencing net5.0 windows projects? Can you provide a minimal repro solution? Thanks!

3 years ago Hi @sfoslund here's a repo: https://github.com/shanieMoonlight/ClickOnceTest
If you look at the ClickOnceHelper.csproj the target framework is set to
<TargetFramework>net5.0</TargetFramework>
This will run fine from VS but if I try to publish it with ClickOnce I get the following error: Assets file 'C:\Users\Shane\Documents\Visual Studio 2019\Projects\ClickOnceTest\ClickOnceTest\ClickOnceHelper\obj\project.assets.json' doesn't have a target for 'net5.0-windows'. Ensure that restore has run and that you have included 'net5.0-windows' in the TargetFrameworks for your project.
If I change the target framework to
<TargetFrameworks>net5.0;net5.0-windows</TargetFrameworks>
it will publish.
It just seems weird that it VS can figure out how to run it but can't figure out how to publish it unless I add "net5.0-windows" to the TargetFrameworks.

3 years ago @shanieMoonlight can you provide the version of VS and the SDK you're using? Did you try restoring then rerunning publish as the error message indicates?

3 years ago @sfoslund I've tried restoring and republishing a load of times. The only thing that did it was to declare that the library was targeting net5.0-windows. Basically the publisher is expecting to see the referenced project .dlls in a folder named net5.0-windows, and my VS won't do it unless I explicitly state it in the csproj. I think this is because the WPF project (the main project) is targeting net5.0-windows.
My VS is 2019 Version 16.8.4.
Did you try publishing the repo that I gave you? Did it work for you?

3 years ago @shanieMoonlight I don't see a repo at https://github.com/shanieMoonlight/ClickOnceTest. Did you push it to GitHub?
@wli3 Can you tag the right ClickOnce folks to look at this?

3 years ago @dsplaisted Sorry the repo was set to private. Try again and let me know if youcan't see it. I'm not an expert at GitHub
I'm having a problem publishing a WPF app.
It seems to be caused by the "Publisher" looking for the dll's (from referenced projects) in the wrong place.
I'm getting this error in the Output Window:
Metadata file 'C:*\DeviceInfo\bin\Release\net5.0-windows\DeviceInfo.dll' could not be found Metadata file 'C:*\Helpers\bin\Release\net5.0-windows\Helpers.dll' could not be found
The referenced projects in question are not necessarily window projects so they are getting published to their own bin\Release\net5.0 folders.
The net5.0-windows folder is not getting generated but the Publisher is still looking for them there.
The app runs fine from Visual Studio in Debug and Release mode.
Do I have to create these folders myself and the copy and paste into them or is there a smarter way? Is this a bug?
