Visual Build Professional -- Finding VS.NET web projects
Funky. During a build of a web project, Visual Build Pro does some work to try to find where the VS.NET web project (.csproj) is physically located on the drive. This is apparently so it can potentially make changes to the project (increment build versions, properties, etc)

At the bottom of this page shows some of the logic they use to find the project. In our case, our build was hosing up since we had a virtual root defined on the build box that matches the first part of the project listing in the solution (.sln) file.

i.e. "WebApp1" in their example. However, this directory was empty on the drive, per the "clean the sandbox" step. So apparently IIS was pointing VisBuild there, and it would find nothing there.

Fix for the time being was to remove that matching named virtual dir.
