error MSB6006: "lc.exe" exited with code -1

I can't build my application anymore,
every time I try to compile the following error arises.

error MSB6006: "lc.exe" exited with code -1

I've never changed anything within the Microsoft.Common.CurrentVersion.targets file (or any other file which is related to MSBuild).

Full path to the file:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Community\MSBuild\Current\Bin\Microsoft.Common.CurrentVersion.targets

Rows where the error seems to be/arise:

<LC
    Sources="@(_LicxFile)"
    LicenseTarget="$(TargetFileName)"
    OutputDirectory="$(IntermediateOutputPath)"
    OutputLicense="$(IntermediateOutputPath)$(TargetFileName).licenses"
    ReferencedAssemblies="@(ReferencePathWithRefAssemblies);@(ReferenceDependencyPaths)"
    NoLogo="$(NoLogo)"
    ToolPath="$(LCToolPath)"
    SdkToolsPath="$(TargetFrameworkSDKToolsDirectory)"
    EnvironmentVariables="$(LCEnvironment)"
    MSBuildArchitecture="$(LCMSBuildArchitecture)"
    TargetFrameworkVersion="$(TargetFrameworkVersion)"
    >

The main problem here is that I can compile every other application, but not my most important one which is written in C# WPF with the .NET Framework 4.7.2.

Does anyone have a clue why I might can't compile the solution?

This error means that your project has something wrong rather than Microsoft.Common.CurrentVersion.targets file

In fact, to see the specific error, you should set your Build Output log to Diagnostic/Detailed by Tools-->Options-->Projects and Solutions-->Build and Run-->set MSBuild project build output verbosity to Diagnostic/Detailed. Then when you build again, you can see the detailed info about it.

And you can try to follow these syggestions:

  1. Please check whether you have any warnings on your nuget packages. If so, please reinstall them or just use update-Package -reinstall under Package Manage Console.

  2. If you have any post(pre)-build event(Right-click on your project-->Properties-->Build Event), please check whether the command has some errors.

  3. If you have licenses.licx files, you should exclude them from your project.

  4. you can try to create a new WPF project and then add the same as the previous project to test if it is the issue of your project.

  5. do a repair in VS Installer in case there are something with your VS Environment or update your VS to the latest version.

In addition, if possible, please share the xxxxx.csproj file of your WPF project with us to troubleshoot your issue quickly. Also, there is a similar issue about this error.
