A workaround to this problem is to go to the publish properties and then on the publish tab, select Application files and set the SEWOP_1_1_6_5/SEWOP.XmlSerializers.dll to exclude.
Please add this to SGen Task<SGen BuildAssemblyName="$(TargetFileName)" BuildAssemblyPath="$(IntermediateOutputPath)" References="@(ReferencePath)" ShouldGenerateSerializer="$(SGenShouldGenerateSerializer)" UseProxyTypes="$(SGenUseProxyTypes)" KeyContainer="$(KeyContainerName)" KeyFile="$(KeyOriginatorFile)" DelaySign="$(DelaySign)" ToolPath="$(SGenToolPath)" SerializationAssembly="$(IntermediateOutputPath)$(_SGenDllName)" >If the serialization assembly already exists then Sgen does not create a new output populating the Serialization Assembly property and there is nothing to copy. With this change the SerilizationAssembly is set by default so even if it does not create a new assembly the value is present to be added over to the dependency list and picked up by the Copy tasks
