I have Visual Studio 2010 SP1.

I wrongly edit and save the file

C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\Microsoft.Common.targets

and now I can't compile anymore. The error I got is

1>C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\Microsoft.Common.Targets(767,39): error MSB4057: The target "_Xsd" does not exist in the project.

I reinstalled Visual Studio 2010, I copied the file from another computer but nothing works and I still have the same error. What can I do?

I search the solution on Internet and i found:

  1. Copy the right target file from another machine to replace the target file.

  2. Uninstall and re-install .Net Framework 4.0 and check if it works.

I tried to restore or install new version of the .NET framework, but other problems occured during installation maybe dued also by hardware problems (i got blue screen sometimes). I know it isn't a good solution, but at the moment I solved the issue by formatting and reinstalling everything.
