Hi,
When I choose "Add File" in a Windows Installer Project in VS 2005 nothing
happens. What's going on?

Steps to repro:
- Create a brand new setup project
- Right click "Setup1" and choose "Add File"
- Browse for any file and choose ok.. it is not added to the project as in
VS 2003

The same behavior exists if you try to "Add File" from the File System Editor.

I tested a simple setup project in VS2005, it could add files well as
VS2003.

So would you please tell me which version of VS2005 you used?

Thanks!

I don't know what's going on. I have 3 machines - things worked as expected
on two but continue to fail on my main development machine. In all cases I
have Visual Studio 2005 Team Edition for Software Developers release,
8.0.50727.42 (RTM.050727-4200).

Hi Orlando,

I have checked our database, but do not find any similar case.

Since we also could not repro this scenario in our local environment, I
suggest you may perform some research on your machine first, you can use
the Filemon and Regmon(www.sysinternals.com) to monitor your VS2005 IDE
when repro this issue...

Thanks!
