I'm trying to create a custom MSBuild project to compile some modules written in VB and one written in C++ into one assembly.

I found an example of compiling C# and VB files to one assembly here, which I'm attempting to base mine off of.

Currently VS locks up when I try to open my project, and I have no idea what I might be doing wrong because there are no error messages.

I've been trying to figure this out for a few days now, so any help will be greatly appreciated.

Heres my MSBuild code:
