I have a SharePoint feature built with Visual Stuido 2010. Everything has been working on my project untill I changed the Site URL for the SharePoint project. Now when I goto deploy my solution I get the error:

The "ValidatePackage" task was not given a value for the required parameter "ProjectService".

Ok great I need to find the ValidatePackage task that is called on deploy and fix the ProjectService parameter.

Where would I go to find the ValidatePackage task? I have search in Visual Studio but no luck. I aslo tried searching in files but again nothing was found.

Update If I create a new solution. Createa blank project and select deploy I get the same error.

C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v10.0\SharePointTools\Microsoft.VisualStudio.SharePoint.targets

Seems to have 18 warnings in it, such as:

Warning 6 The element 'ItemGroup' in namespace 'http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003' has invalid child element 'Package' in namespace 'http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003'. List of possible elements expected: 'Item, Reference, COMReference, COMFileReference, Xdcmake, Bscmake, ClCompile, ClInclude, Midl, ResourceCompile, PreLinkEvent, CustomBuildStep, Manifest, ProjectConfiguration, NativeReference, ProjectReference, Compile, EmbeddedResource, Content, Page, Resource, ApplicationDefinition, None, BaseApplicationManifest, Folder, Import, Service, WebReferences, WebReferenceUrl, FileAssociation, BootstrapperFile, PublishFile, CodeAnalysisDependentAssemblyPaths, CodeAnalysisDictionary, CodeAnalysisImport, Link, ResourceCompile, PreBuildEvent, PostBuildEvent' in namespace 'http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003'. C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v10.0\SharePointTools\Microsoft.VisualStudio.SharePoint.targets 181 8 Miscellaneous Files

Update

I tried repearing VS2010 and the error remains.

Update

If I use CKSDev I can deploy OK. It is jsut the built in Visual Studio 2010 deploy that is failing. Also means that pressing f5 for debugging does not work.

Update

I tried removing VS2010 and reinstalling but the error remained on a reinstall. I dont think the VS uninstall removes everything as it rememberd my extension details :(

    the warning you see when you open .targets file may not help you because I get similar warnings as well and my environment is working fine. Did you try moving source code to some other dev env and see if it builds?

Using Visual Studio 2010 Uninstall Utility I remvoed VS2010 from my machine. I then made sure SP1 was removed as well.

I reinstalled VS2010 and then applied SP1. I then hit the deploy button on the same code as before and it worked.
