.NET Forum / Visual Studio.NET / Setup / January 2006MSI error message after installation
Hi all, I've created a MSI package (using .NET deployment project) and I tested the installation in a PC. It went fine. When I click on the shortcut (created on the desktop by the .NET deployment project), an error message shows up: "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable. Click OK to try again, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package <program name>.msi in the box below." Is this error related to my .NET deployment project or some setup/settings in the PC? I've checked the shortcut in my deployment project and it points to the correct executable. Is it corrupted after installation? I'm using VS.NET 2003. Any comment is welcomed. Thanks in advance. Did you install your MSI from a location (like a network location) that is no longer available?

No the MSI is copied to the local drive PC first before installation starts. Previously we have an older version of the application installed. We uninstalled the older version (using MSI) before installing the new version. > Did you install your MSI from a location (like a network location) that is > no longer available?

It might be that the previous version was not completely removed from the system for some reason. Does it work if you go to the project properties and change the ProductCode Guid? Or if you increment the version (which will also prompt you to change, say yes).
