body: Hi [@Craig Change](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2425530),

Could you please confirm the MSBuild project is located under Bamboo's Build Working Directory (**C:\\ProgramData\\bamboo-home\\xml-data\\build-dir\\ILP-IP-JOB1** ). Based on the screenshot attached, the **WinFormDemo.sln** is located under **G:\\SourceCodes\\..** . in which differs from **Build Working Directory** Bamboo is expecting.

In Tasks definition, we can see that you have a **Source Code Checkout** task defined. What are you getting from ssh://git@localhost:7999/pt/inora.git repository?

```
Starting task 'Check out task' of type 'com.atlassian.bamboo.plugins.vcs:task.vcs.checkout'
Checking out into C:\ProgramData\bamboo-home\xml-data\build-dir\ILP-IP-JOB1
```

As per above, you can notice the content from ssh://git@localhost:7999/pt/inora.git repository is being downloaded into C:\\ProgramData\\bamboo-home\\xml-data\\build-dir\\ILP-IP-JOB1. Could you review if this is the same content as described in G:\\SourceCodes\\InoraCodes\\WinFormDemo or there is a different location path?

After reviewing the source code and its directory structure downloaded into the Build Working Directory, try to provide the path to **WinFormDemo.sln** relative Bamboo's Build Working Directory instead of \*\*/WinFormDemo.sln

Kind regards,

Rafael
