Yet More info.

It must have something to do with merged customized entities.  The default 754 Project build correctly without error.

Evidently something was terribly wrong in my merged files.  I manually merged my customizations and now I can build.

I still need to figure it out though.

Close Application Architect and delete the build folder from your system.

Then re-open Application Architect and try again, normally this helps.

Thanks,

I tried that several times to no avail.

I must have messed up on merging the customizations. The post merge entities were not correctly formatted causing the T4 templating engine to fail.

Fortunately my customizations are all pretty straight forward and since I did all of them I know wexactly what needed to be done manually.

I just experienced this same issue when I tried to upgrade the VFS from 7.5.3 to 7.5.4

I created a new LFS project workspace and restored my project backup into that and that fixed it.
