Message text
MSB3304: Could not determine the dependencies of the COM reference 'value'.
Description
This error is shown whenever there's an error that occurs when MSBuild scans a COM reference to attempt to resolve dependencies. The output shows another error message that provides more information on the failure.
Resolution
Look to the extra error message to determine the cause of the problem.
If the added error message is from the type library importer, you can also try running the tlbimp.exe importer directly to get a more detailed error message. For more information, see TlbImp.exe (Type Library Importer) and Add references to type libraries.
