Hi there,

   I'm getting some strange warnings appearing while I'm compiling a couple
of setup projects I have in a solution.  I'm being informed of the following
warnings,

WARNING: Unable to find dependency 'mscorlib' (Signature='B77A5C561934E089'
Version='1.0.5000.0') of assembly 'System.dll'
WARNING: Unable to find dependency 'mscorlib' (Signature='B77A5C561934E089'
Version='1.0.5000.0') of assembly 'System.Xml.dll'

   It's also appearing for a couple of other dependencies included in the
project that are "non-Microsoft", but the above ones confuse me.  Any ideas
as to what is happening? or should I just ignore these as all *seems* to be
fine.

   I've also just noticed that System.Xml.dll is now being redistributed
with my setup programs, what would be the reason for the IDE to to do this?
"Copy local" is still set to false so I'm slightly confused with this one
:-\  It's not in the projects Bin folder, but it *is* being redistributed
with the setup, I presume this is half the reason why I am experiencing
these errors, or the errors are the reason why the file is being
distributed.  I would rather have the 1.27mb OUT of my setup!!!!  It more
that doubles the size of the download.

   I can eliminate the errors by excluding the files from the project, but
should I be excluding the System.dll and System.Xml.dll files from my setup
project?  It was the IDE that put them there in the first place :-\

   Cheers in advance for any help!

Nick.

Hi there,

   I have found a resolve for the other 2 non Microsoft assembiles by
compiling them to version 1.0 of the Framework.  Which is pretty strange
because I had found in the past that 1.1 assemblies did not work with 1.0
assemblies, has Microsoft changed this in one of the service packs?

   Anyway, that also removed the other 2 warnings!  Stange but sorted now
none the less!

Nick.
