I have created an application with about 20 assemblies (C#/.NET 3.5). I have
just added a windows installer/setup deployment project to my solution and I
found it reports "1 failed" without any error message when I build it:
------ Starting pre-build validation for project 'SetupCts' ------
------ Pre-build validation for project 'SetupCts' completed ------
------ Rebuild All started: Project: SetupCts, Configuration: Release ------

Packaging file 'DTS.ico'...
Packaging file 'DigitalInOutDriverBase.dll'...
Packaging file 'PneumaticTwisterScriptLib.dll'...
========== Rebuild All: 18 succeeded, 1 failed, 1 skipped ==========
I found that both the setup.exe and .msi file appear to be created correctly
and that when I run the setup, my application runs correctly. My setup
project does not include any third party assemblies or DLLs. It is only uses
the .NET Framework 3.5 and a .NET library from National Instruments (DAQmx
8.6) which will already be installed on the target machines.
Has anyone else experienced this problem or have any suggestions about what
might be wrong?
Thanks,
Dave

Anyone have a suggestion?

Hi,
I get the same for a web setup project. Build fails but no errors and the
.msi and application seems to work as they should.
I'm also looking for an answer.
