Describe the bug

When assessing a .NET Framework 4.8 Web Forms application and associated libraries, the assessment fails to build.
Log file shows:

Expected behavior

Assessment to complete without error

Steps to Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Create a new .NET Framework 4.8 Web Forms project.
  2. Create or add reference to another .NET Framework library
  3. Amend Web Forms project's .csproj file so that reference to library is a valid relative path e.g.
    <Reference Include="Azure.Identity, Version=1.8.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=92742159e12e44c8, processorArchitecture=MSIL">
      <HintPath>C:\packages\Azure.Identity.1.8.0\lib\netstandard2.0\Azure.Identity.dll</HintPath>
    </Reference>

to

    <Reference Include="Azure.Identity, Version=1.8.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=92742159e12e44c8, processorArchitecture=MSIL">
      <HintPath>..\..\..\..\Azure.Identity.1.8.0\lib\netstandard2.0\Azure.Identity.dll</HintPath>
    </Reference>

VS2022 will compile the project without issue but the asessment project with fail with the above error.

Can not reproduce the problem in either PAClient or PA UI tools.

This the reference record I used for testing. Do you mind sharing the csproj file?

<Reference Include="Antlr3.Runtime">
      <HintPath>..\..\..\..\Antlr.3.5.0.2\lib\Antlr3.Runtime.dll</HintPath>
    </Reference>

projects.zip
Attached file contains the solution file and all refrenced .csproj files with their paths maintained.
(please note that the "zip" file is actually a "7z" file but you should be able to open it without any problems.
Thanks, Chris

csproj files attached a couple of days ago.

How do you add the relative path of the reference to the project? Do you modify the manually? Or you use AddReference option by right-click the project in Visual Studio? Or feel free to us an email aws-porting-assistant-support@amazon.com.
