The target "AddUmbracoFilesToOutput" does not exist in the project

Hello All,

I have developed this site in Umbraco 7 MVC and now would like to deploy it to a folder locally.

Every time I hit the publish button, I get the below error message:

Add Umbraco Files To Output

I have searched quite a bit for the meaning of this message but hardly came across anything that would suggest a solution.

I was wondering if any of y’all have come across an error like this.

Please do let me know.

Thanks in advance.
Noel
