I'm getting this error trying to run my Build thru TeamBuild in TeamExplorer on Visual Studio 2008.
On the Build Machine I installed VS SP1, Team Explorer, Silverlight 3 tools, and RIA Services.
I can compile no problem with Visual Studio on my machine and directly on the Build Machine. But I still cant compile on thru TeamBuild because it "says" I'm missing GetXapOutputFile target.
I checked C:\Program Files\MSBuild\Microsoft\Silverlight\v3.0\Microsoft.Silverlight.Common.targets file and it does have the GetXapOutputFile target:
<!--
============================================================
GetXapOutputFile
This stand-alone target returns the name of the built xap file.It
only makes sense to call this after a build
============================================================
-->
<Target
Name="GetXapOutputFile"
DependsOnTargets="_CreateSLProperties"
Outputs="$(XapOutputFile)"
/>
Any idea what I might be missing?

Hi I was trying a command line build and had same issue, this solved it for me:
Properties menu of 'xxx.Web' project, 'Silverlight Application' tab, remove the current item and add it again. After that, when building..., the error will go away. But I don't know why it is.
