BC30140: Error creating assembly manifest: <error message>
The Visual Basic compiler calls the Assembly Linker (Al.exe, also known as Alink) to generate an assembly with a manifest. The linker has reported an error in the pre-emission stage of creating the assembly.
This can occur if there are problems with the key file or the key container specified. To fully sign an assembly, you must provide a valid key file that contains information about the public and private keys. To delay sign an assembly, you must select the Delay sign only check box and provide a valid key file that contains information about the public key information. The private key is not necessary when an assembly is delay-signed. For more information, see How to: Sign an Assembly with a Strong Name.
