I created a new project in VS 2005 - manually added some xml files to the
folder tree and then through the IDE did an include in project...

Now I am getting warnings for each file I added...

The file 'file' could not be added to the project. A file with the same
path already exists in the project.

Any ideas why this is and how to get rid of it.

Thanks

Donal

Figured it out - looks like the msbuild script had the same filenames
duplicated among different item groups...

I have the same problem...

What is the name of the file you have to edit to remove the error?

Could you email me with the answer please....
