Compilation Syntax Error VS2010

I have mindscape web workbench installed in Visual Studios 2010 on Windows 8.1.
I also installed Foundation 5 Core Sass files via NuGet. I am not using compass.

I setup this configuration in two separate VS 2010 projects and it works great.

However, when I installed it in a very complicated .NET project the file compilation no longer succeeds. The other thing I noticed is that in the complicated project a file "WebWorkbench.mswwsettings" was installed. In the two earlier projects that I created last week this file was never added to the project, and as I mentioned both those projects compile the exact same sass with no error.

I get the following compilation error:

Syntax error: File to import not found or unreadable: normalize.
              Load paths:
                c:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0/Common7/IDE
                C:/00.Project/[Web]www.changeyourenergy.com/sass
        on line 3 of C:\00.Project\[Web]www.changeyourenergy.com\sass\Site.scss
  Use --trace for backtrace.

My directory structure:

- WebWorkbench.mswwsettings
- sass/
-- _normalize.scss
-- _foundation.scss
-- _foundation.mvc.scss
-- Site.scss

Contents of Site.scss

@import "normalize";
@import "foundation";
@import "foundation.mvc";

Do you have any thoughts or suggestions?

Also, is there a section of your site that documents how to modify / configure the "WebWorkbench.mswwsettings" file?

Thats odd regarding the import. The output looks like its coming from the Sass compiler, I wonder if its not liking the directory with the brackets in the name. If you copy the project off to one side, e.g. to C:\Temp\MyProject does it work?

In terms of the .mswwsettings file, this is included in web site projects. For application projects which have a project file the settings we store in the .mswwsettings file are stored in the project file instead so there is no need to create it. It is not documented and we dont support modification of the file but you can probably easily infer its contents if you open it with a text editor :)

When I create a new website project it works just fine. The only issue is that I need compass to work in this project.

[update] Placing brackets in the project name breaks the compass compiler. I created an empty project; setup compass via mindscape; and compass files no longer compile.

Are there brackets in the folder path? If so then yes this does not work, you will need to rename the directory.

The Visual Studio 2010 web site project is named:

[Web]www.changeyourenergy.com

And the directory path is:

C:/00.Project/[Web]www.changeyourenergy.com/
