MSBuild is not generating publish web page (ClickOnce)

I am facing a problem that when I publish my ClickOnce application through MSBuild (4.0), the publish.htm (or default.htm) isn't created in the app.publish folder.

When publishing through Visual Studio, it gets crated...

In my .csproj file I have the following properties set, and it still not working...

<CreateWebPageOnPublish>true</CreateWebPageOnPublish>
<WebPage>default.htm</WebPage>

Any ideas?

Thanks

I'm using Visual Studio 2015, but otherwise had what sounds like the same or similar issue. The solution was to open the Properties of the Project file in Visual Studio > Go to the "Publish" settings, and in the right pane, click Options.... This will open up the "Publish Options" dialog. Select "Deployment" and if you see the "Deployment web page" is empty (mine was) then enter "publish.htm". You should then be able to check "Automatically generate deployment web page after every publish" (you need to check this). Click OK to close the dialog and then republish. Your "publish.htm" file should now appear.
