MSB0001: Internal MSBuild Error: refCount should not be less than 1

Does anyone know what this means? I am getting this error in my CI build (CruiseControl.Net + NAnt + MSBuild), locally this project compiles just fine...

My problem it's similar with you, I'm have to eliminate two projects that relationship with my solution in mobil enviroment, that cause the conflict with the others projects in my solution. My other projects are desktop, mvc, webapi enviroment.

I have to create a new solution for my others mobil projects

Found the solution: instead of using <solution> in the build target I called msbuild directly with <exec>. Everything works now.

I ran into the same problem in a similar environment. In my case, the project had a COM reference to the Active DS Type Library, which wasn't installed on the build server.

To fix the problem, I dropped the COM reference and added a reference to an interop assembly, which was then deployed to the build server.
