Today I was busy with creating a WCF service solution in Visual Studio Enterprise 2017 (15.9.2). In this solution I use a few C# class libraries based on .NET 4.7.2.

Either remove wildcards from the version string, or disable determinism for this compilation The error message is linking to my AssemblyInfo.cs file of the Class library projects. In all the projects of this solution I use the wildcard notation for generating build and revision numbers. // Version information for an assembly consists of the following four values: // // Major Version // Minor Version // Build Number // Revision // // You can specify all the values or you can default the Build and Revision Numbers // by using the '*' as shown below: // [assembly: AssemblyVersion("1.0.*")] [assembly: AssemblyVersion("1.0.
