Why am I getting the following Build error?
C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.5\msbuild.exe C:\Code\EduBenesysNET\EduBenesysNET\EduBenesysNET.vbproj /t:publish /p:Configuration=Release /p:Platform=AnyCPU /v:detailed /p:PublishDir="\\BSIIS3\c$\DATA\WEBSITES\benesys.net\benesys.net\TotalEducationTest\" /p:InstallUrl="https://www.benesys.net/benesys.net/TotalEducationTest/" /p:ApplicationVersion=1.0.1.198 /p:ProductName="Total Education TEST" /p:PublisherName="BeneSys, Inc." /p:UpdateRequired="True" /p:MinimumRequiredVersion=1.0.1.198 Microsoft (R) Build Engine Version 3.5.30729.1 [Microsoft .NET Framework, Version 2.0.50727.3603] Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation 2007. All rights reserved. MSBUILD : error MSB1008: Only one project can be specified. Switch: Education For switch syntax, type "MSBuild /help"
I do not see how a second project is being specified.
Is it stored in a project file somewhere?

It turns out the trailing slash in the PublishDir property is escaping the end quote. Escaping the trailing slash solved my problem.
This way we can use quotes for paths that have whitespace in properties that MSBuild requires the trailing slash.
I know this is an old post, but I feel like I needed to share this with someone :-)
