Hi

 

I have recently moved PCF project from one system to another,  after doing so i have run  PAC install update and other configuration on the machine. i have also ran msbuild /t:restore, However, When I do msbuild i am getting following error: 

 

error : Control directory with publisher name C:\PowerApps\GLMS\Name\DeploymentV1_1\obj\Debug\Controls\Control.name already exists [cdsProject Path]

 

also, If i delete files from obj/debug folder solution builds properly. but once first bulid is done. second time onwards it thorws above error.

    Hi

    This is a known bug that is getting fixed in an upcoming release with a workaround of using ("msbuild /t:rebuild ") instead of "msbuild". Can you please try using rebuild instead of build command to workaround the issue temporarily.
