My solution is not building. Visual Studio 2015 is griping about missing dlls, of solution projects, that are not in fact missing. The solution is building fine on other folk's machines. Are there specific local factors that could cause this? Is there something I can reset to get back to a clean environment?

  • It is hard to read the txt of the error, could you copy 1 of them and provide the textual error instead? – ΩmegaMan Jul 06 '16 at 13:57
  • Are you sure your solution is compiling in the correct order? – nvoigt Jul 06 '16 at 14:38
  • Is the reference to the missing dll, a file reference or a project reference? If it is a file reference, do you have the same file/folder structure as the other folk's? – Scott Wylie Jul 07 '16 at 16:56

I've fixed this I think, by deleting all binaries in my lib folder a clean set from tfs. This tip came from a colleague who'd had the same issue. Difficult to know if this answer will be useful.
