I’m having some problems parsing an XML file. It seems to have happened recently, but I can’t find anything that could have changed. I’m getting this:  
  
Opening XML file publisher.csproj  
XPath returned no node : /Project/PropertyGroup[2]/OutputPath  
  
This used to work, and as far as I know, there were no changes. This is really a VS 2005 csproj file. If I remove the xmlns=“[http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003](http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003)” attribute from the file, it will work fine.  
  
Can anyone shed some light on this?  
  
Regards,  
Dan
