It sounds like the devenv process that VBP invokes to build the VS2003 solution is not completing. You can verify this by checking the 'Display command-line...' checkbox on the Options tab, rebuilding the step, then copying and pasting the devenv command-line from the build output to a Command Prompt and running it from there. If it occurs outside of VBP, you'll need to open a support incident with MS. Otherwise, we'll need a reproducible case to investigate further (send to
support@kinook.com):
1) The info from Help | About | Install Info
2) A screen shot of System properties (Windows+Break)
3) The .bld file
4) A build log file
5) The .sln file and project files
Thanks.
