Aaron- I am having a problem when attempting to publish my click once app using your recommendation above. I'm using TFS08/3.5, and have the following code in my TFSBuild.proj file:

</SolutionToBuild>

<Properties>OverwriteReadOnlyFiles=true</Properties>

</SolutionToPublish>

I also added the target overload:

</Target>

Nothing seems to fix the access denied error when MSBuild is attemping to publish my project, this is the error from the buildlog.txt:

C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\Microsoft.Common.targets(3253,9): error MSB3021: Unable to copy file "D:\TeamBuilds\DeskIT\DeskIT Dev\Binaries\Debug\DeskITShell.exe.manifest" to "\DeskITShell.exe.manifest". Access to the path '\DeskITShell.exe.manifest' is denied.

The publish location defined in the project is a network share, and the TFS service account has full control to both the share and the folder. Any ideas? Thanks in advance for any help.

-Josh

Based on the path in the error message, it looks like your publish location is not being respected and the copy is attempting to place the manifest file into the root directory of your build machine's D: drive. My guess would be that there is already a read-only copy of the file there which is giving the access denied error. The real issue would seem to be fixing that path!
