MSBuild cannot map path to server side include

I am trying to use automated builds for my website. This uses MSBuild to compile everything and then it ships it out.

I just recently added a server side include to my main page. When I just save the file and throw it on the server, the server side include works. However, when I try to build the project in Visual Studio 2005 I get a "Failed to map the path '/X/Y/Z.html'" and the automated build fails each time because MSBuild fails.

Any suggestions?

Is it .NET? If so, you might consider using the ~ in the path instead. I can't remember right now but I think it is

It is .NET 2.0 and the tilda did not help. I am starting to look if there are MSBuild options to ignore server side include errors. So far, nothing.

Here is another bit of information that might change the situation:

The include file is not within the website's virtual folder, only the server's.

\\SERVER\BASE_FOLDER\INCLUDE_FOLDER\INCLUDE_FILE.html
\\SERVER\BASE_FOLDER\WEBSITE_FOLDER\...

You might try giving the proper Internet permissions to the folder.

What kind of internet permissions are you talking about. This doesn't even build locally.

I have not messed with MS Publisher ever to do a website. Have you checked out the Microsoft Discussion Groups? There you will find some people who are experienced in MS Publisher and might understand it more.
