BE0030: The OutputPath and WorkingPath properties cannot be set to the same path

Error BE0030: The OutputPath and WorkingPath properties cannot be set to the same path.

Cause

This error occurs if the value of the OutputPath and the WorkingPath project property values equate to the same location.

Solution

When a website build is performed, the content of the output path is cleared before the website files are generated. Likewise, when a build completes, the intermediate files in the working folder will be deleted if the CleanIntermediates property is set to true. In either case, this would result in the loss of the output files. To correct the error either clear the WorkingPath property so that it uses a default location for the working files or set it to a folder that is different from the OutputPath property value.
