Payload contains two or more files with the same destination path 'xxx.pdb' when publishing trying to create a MSIX package

Question

Hello,

I'm following these instructions:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/maui/windows/setup?view=net-maui-9.0

I'd previously tried Geralds command line build but that failed and led me to the article above.

I imagine its still pretty new but if anyone has any suggestions I'd appreciate it.

Steven

1. In the csproj file I have <WindowsPackageType>MSIX</WindowsPackageType>
2. Select "Windows Machine" in Visual Studio Target
3. Right Click Solution name and select "Publish"
4. Select Distubution method as Microsoft Store as <Project Name> by <fake company name>
5. Click Next
6. Select Auto Increment on version
7. Select single publish profile created by clicking on new in the dropdown, click both check boxes. Click Create.
8. Compile starts and errors with message in title.

output folder: bin\Debug\net9.0-windows10.0.19041.0\win10-x64* only has one copy of the custom control I made. I did try deleting all of bin\Debug\net9.0-windows10.0.19041.0*
