Condition must be specified for launch condition

Visual Studio .NET 2003

When adding a launch condition to the Launch Conditions node in the Launch Conditions Editor, you must specify a condition in the Condition property.

To correct this error

  1. Double-click the error message in the Task List to go to the referenced launch condition in the Launch Conditions Editor.
  2. In the Properties window, select the Condition property and enter a condition.
