Visual Studio publish error code 0x80070005 -- Bootstrap license

Out of nowhere, after multiple successful Publishes, Visual Studio 2022 gives me an error when I try to publish to Azure. It's looking on my D: disk for a Bootstrap license. There is no D: disk.

I hit this a couple weeks, not with Publish but just building. I solved it eventually by deleting my bin folder. That's not working today.

Looking around, others have hit something similar, but did not seem to be my situation.

2021-12-01: no clues out there as to how to solve?

Here is log output:

I'm having the same exact issue, looks like the issue is caused by VS 2022. I think it is taking a file that has no extension named License and mistaking it for a folder. I was able to fix the issue by deleting the License file and the folder that was created on my web server by VS 2022 on deploy.

I fixed it by doing the following:

  1. Open the Azure Portal
  2. Open the App Service page
  3. Open the Console blade
  4. In the console, navigate to D:\home\site\wwwroot\wwwroot
  5. Remove the Identity folder with rmdir /s /q Identity.

Got it fixed thanks to MS support. Somehow server folder wwwroot structure had been corrupted.

I was having similar issues regarding that file when deploying to azure app services.

I was able to fix the issue by ensuring that "Remove additional files at destination" was enabled.

Azure Portal:

We're publishing to a folder and what fixed it for us was setting "Delete existing files" to true in the Publish Dialog.
