I've copied an XSLT map from another solution and are trying to modify it to the current solution. When I test the map using a standard D96 INVOIC test file I get an error saying that the root element is missing.

When I try to debug, the execution stops right after the first template, so something is not being matched correctly.

<xsl:template match="/">
    <xsl:apply-templates select="/s0:EFACT_D96A_INVOIC" />
  </xsl:template>
  <xsl:template match="/s0:EFACT_D96A_INVOIC">
    <xsl:variable name="var:v1" select="userCSharp:StringUpperCase("1")" />
    <ns0:Cdm_PurchaseInvoice>

I have in my header the namespace prefix declared:

xmlns:s0="http://schemas.microsoft.com/BizTalk/EDI/EDIFACT/2006"

What could be the cause of this? The template should match, but it is not being applied.

Actually, I am getting this error message inside of "Visual Build Pro" when using using the "Make VS 2008" command. This command works just fine when building other solutions (like about 20) and I am not really sure why mine is getting the error.

Any help would be very much appreciated. :)

I am using VS 2008 and Visual Build Pro 6.7.

In my case it was the xxxxxxxxxxxx.vcxproj.user file that was causing the problem; it was blank after a crash. I renamed it and the problem went away.

Make sure any XML file (or any file that would be interpreted as an XML file by visual studio) has a correct XML structure - that is, one root element (with any name, I have use

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<settings>
  <repositoryPath>Packages</repositoryPath>
</settings>

3 in my example):

<?xml version="1.0"?> 
<rootElement>
 ...
</rootElement>

You will also get 'root element is missing' when the BOM strikes :). BOM = byte order mark. This is an extra character that gets added to the start of a file when it is saved with the wrong encoding. This can happen sometimes in Visual Studio when working with XML files. You can either code something to remove it from all your files, or if you know which file it is you can force visual studio to save it with a specific encoding (utf-8 or ascii IIRC).

If you open the file in an editor other than VS (try notepad++), you will see two funny characters before the <? xml declaration.

To fix this in VS, open the file in VS and then depending on the version of VS

File > Advanced Save Options > choose an appropriate encoding
File > Save As > keep the filename, click the drop-down arrow on the right side of the save button to select an encoding

In my case.I was getting missing element error pointing to

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<settings>
  <repositoryPath>Packages</repositoryPath>
</settings>

4 file. At that time it was looking some thing like this

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<settings>
  <repositoryPath>Packages</repositoryPath>
</settings>

then I just added

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<settings>
  <repositoryPath>Packages</repositoryPath>
</settings>

5 tag that actually wraps entire xml. Now working fine for me

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
  <settings>
     <repositoryPath>Packages</repositoryPath>
  </settings>
</configuration>

This error is caused by corrupted proj file.

Visual Studio always has backup project file at specific folder.

Please browse to:

C:\Users\<Your user>\Documents\Visual Studio <Vs version>\Backup Files\<your project>

You should see 2 files like this:

Original-May-18-2018-1209PM.<your project>.csproj
Recovered-May-18-2018-1209PM.<your project>.csproj

You only need copy file:

Original-May-18-2018-1209PM.<your project>.csproj

And re-name as

<your project>.csproj

and override at root project folder.

Problem is solved!

In my case, when I opened the

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<settings>
  <repositoryPath>Packages</repositoryPath>
</settings>

8 file, it was empty so I went to my previous commit in git and copied the contents of that file and pasted it my current

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<settings>
  <repositoryPath>Packages</repositoryPath>
</settings>

8 file. After which I deleted the

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
  <settings>
     <repositoryPath>Packages</repositoryPath>
  </settings>
</configuration>

0 file, reloaded my project, and everything started working again.

You can also search for the file. Navigate to your project directory with PowerShell and run Get-FileMissingRoot:

function Get-FileMissingRoot {
    dir -recurse |
        where {
            ($_ -is [IO.FileInfo]) -and 
            (@(".xml", ".config") -contains $_.extension) 
        } |
        foreach {
            $xml = New-Object Xml.XmlDocument;
            $filename = $_.FullName
            try {
                $xml.Load($filename)
            }
            catch {
                write ("File: " + $filename)
                write ($_.Exception.Message)
            }
        }
}

I had this issue running VS 2017, on build I was getting the error that the 'root element was missing'. What solved it for me was going to Tools > Nuget Package Manager > Package Manager Settings > General > Clear all Nuget Caches. After doing that I ran the build again and it was fixed.

In my case, .csproj was changed to encoded format. I did undo changes to csproj in Git(Team explorer) and reloaded the project file. This solved the problem.

In my case, the file

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

1 was full of NULL.

I deleted it; it was recreated on the first launch of Dotfuscator, and after that, normality was restored.

This error can sometimes occur when you edit some Project Toolchain settings Atmel Studio 6.1.2730 SP2.

In my case I tried to edit Project Properties > Toolchain > Linker > General settings with 'All Configurations' selected in the Configuration. When I checked or unchecked a setting, a dialog with the error popped up. However, I found that I could make the same edits if I made them to only one build configuration at a time; i.e. with only 'Debug' or 'Release' selected instead of 'All Configurations'.

Interestingly, I later was able to edit the same Linker settings even with 'All Configurations' selected. I don't know what changed in my project that made this possible.

I had Blue Screen while running Visual Studio 2013, when I Restart I intended to run again my project, but I had always this headius Error. anyway

Deleting The Folders with the Temp info Fix this problem. in my case the Project was a Windows Server, and Basically it Creates a Folder with some Tem info.

the folder was

C:\Users\User_NAME\AppData\Local\NAme_OF_THeProject

inside Exist a Folder with the Name of the Project+ some Generated GUI Service.ServerHostLoader_Url_u2jn0xkgjf1th0a3i2v03ft15vj4x52i

this is the Folder I deleted and now I can run again the Project.

In my case I upgraded to VS2017 and wanted to build all projects with MSBuild 4 with my build script (which had been using MSBuild 3.5 when we were using VS2015). That MSBuild upgrade appeared fine for the Windows desktop applications but the ones for Windows CE with compact framework would give me this confusing error. Reverting to MSBuild 3.5 for Windows CE projects fixed the issue for me.

I did have the BOM in .csproj files by the way and removed them for all projects in a solution that would not build but that did not help.

Hey, I have the same issue on Mac working on a Cocoa C# solution. (But I solved it !)

It always say that the root element is missing so it cannot load my C# project file.

I have the 2017 Visual Studio Mac Community Edition. I finally managed to find a solution after several hours (painful!).

My solution is because the frameworks related to the Visual Studio are old or broken. I found this because I tried to create a new Mac solution by Cocoa and it said "failed to save the solution". Then, I tried to create an Android Solution and it is working fine. Go to your "Finder" and "Go" -> "Go to a Folder" then go to the "Library/Frameworks". I have deleted mono.framework and frameworks related to Xamarin because I believe these Xamarin frameworks are broken.

Then, uninstalled the Visual Studio and reinstalled it. Now everything works fine!

In my case, I just renamed the .csproj.user and restart the visual studio and opened the project. It automatically created another .csproj.user file and the solution worked fine for me.

Ho i simply solved this issue by going to source control explorer and selected the issue project, right clicked and selected the option Get Specific Version under Advanced menu. And then selected Type as Latest Version and ticked following two check boxes and clicked Get button. Then i refreshed the solution and my project came back to live and problem gone. Please note that This may overwrite your local projects so your current changes may lose. So if you dont have any issues with your local copy then you can try this. Hope it helps

I got this issue on a Web API project. Finally figured out that it was in my "///" method comments. I have these comments set to auto-generate documentation for the API methods. Something in my comments made it go crazy. I deleted all the carriage returns, special characters, etc. Not really sure which thing it didn't like, but it worked.

In my case the RDLC files work with resource files (.resx), I had this error because I hadn't created the correspondent resx file for my rdlc report.

My solution was add the file .resx inside the App_LocalResources in this way:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<settings>
  <repositoryPath>Packages</repositoryPath>

which were full of null characters, and also these

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
  <settings>
     <repositoryPath>Packages</repositoryPath>

2 file. This caused the NUGET package manager to fail and show the error Root element is missing. The resolution was to copy over elements from another non-empty file and then change it according to the needs.

Example (packages.config):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

  <repositoryPath>Packages</repositoryPath>

No one of these solutions fixed my problem.

In my case, I finished my work and I shut down my computer. The day after I wasn't able to compile my project. I tried some of these solutions and I realized all my projects weren't work.

Root element is missing là lỗi gì?

Nguyên nhân của lỗi này là do phần mềm không đọc được file cấu hình: config - cụ thể là file config bị trống. File config lưu các thông số của phần mềm và được load lên mỗi khi mở phần mềm. File config được lưu trong thư mục Appdata của user đang đăng nhập windows.
