licenses.licx missing

Question

I have recently recovered my lost files and in my C# project, it seems "licenses.licx" file has been gone.

This is the VS error:

"Could not find file 'C:...\Exam\Properties\licenses.licx'"

How can I fix this error and regenerate "licenses.licx" file?

3. rename it to licenses.licx

Answer 3

It seems that the cause of problem is that the licenses.licx file is included in the project. So, I suggest that you exclude it from the application to avoid this problem. Right-click on this file in the project tree and select the 'Exclude From Project' menu item. Thanks,

Alternatively, you can install the EmptyLicensesLicx nuget package, and it will make sure there's an empty Licenses.licx in your project, before it gets compiled.

Answer 5

Just exclude any licenses.licx from your project. To exclude a file, find the file in solution explorer and right-click on it, choose "Exclude From Project". done.
