Visual Studio 2008 build failed, no error messages

Visual Studio 2008 build failed, no error messages

I a working on a client side reporting project, Visual Studio 2008, sp1, c#. 
When I attempted to build the project, I received a message 'build failed' 
in the status bar, but  the error list shows 0 errors, 0 warnings, 0 
messages.  Is there somewhere else to look?

Thanks

You can look in the Output window. If that doesn't provide enough detail, 
you can change the level of detail with Tools->Options->Projects and 
Solutions->Build and Run:  MSBuild project build output verbosity.

Mark, I've seen the "invalid digital signature" error in cases where I was 
installing from remote media or on a Virtual Machine with the media coming 
from the host. The solution has been to copy the media to disk (or even 
virtual disk) and run it from there.

John,

the error was encountered using the original installation DVD.  I could 
purchase an external drive and copy the DVD to it, but  I have doubts that a 
file that is flagged as corrupt on the DVD would fare better on the drive. 
What would you recommend if the DVD has suffered corruption?

Thanks,

Mark
