Thank you so very much for pointing the way to something that seems so simple, but, since it deviates from the norm, is not intuitive at all. I don't know how many times I have worked on the properties window and never saw these "special" properties. This blog is almost a year old, but still relevant!

Hello,

We've just run into a very strange behavior associated with post-build events. Everything was working fine. However in the last couple days the post-build event started firing pre-build. Has anyone else seen this behavior?

We're in the middle of investigation and one things we are looking at are recently applied security kb's

Hi Samjac - I'm sorry, but I've never heard of an issue like this. I'd suggest searching for related bugs on the Visual Studio bug reporting site (http://connect.microsoft.com/visualstudio/) and reporting a new bug if you don't find one.

It might also help to search for help on the Setup and Deployment Projects forum at http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowForum.aspx?ForumID=6&SiteID=1.

I'm sorry I'm not able to be more helpful in this scenario.
