I try to build several projects through FinalBuilder 8.0.0.2281 and got an error

**The type or namespace name %Name% does not exist in the namespace %Namespace% (are you missing an assembly reference?)**

In VS2017 all projects building just fine and there is no missing references.

What can be the problem? Thanks for any help!

You really haven’t given us enough information to even come close to helping you. What settings do you have on the action. Are you compiling a product or a solution. What configuration are you using, are all the projects in the solution set to build for that solution?

My best guess here is that you have project references, msbuild doesn't know how to build those if the sln file is not available.

The trick is to build the solution, not the csproj.
