I am trying to build a setup project with VS 2005, running under Vista.

During the build process, I keep getting the error:

Error 14 Could not create the file
'C:\Users\kelly\AppData\Local\Temp\VSI49A.tmp' 'Access is denied.'

(The actual VSI... file name changes each time)

I have also tried importing into VS2008 and get the same error.

VS2005 is started with adminsitrator permissions, I have tried making new
setup projects, I have double checked I have permissions in the temp folder
and I have emptied the whole temp folder.

The only time it works, is if I do a reboot, and then a build. After this
time though, I get the error again.

I got something similar but with VS 2008 while building an MSI:
Packaging file 'Interop.ADODB.dll'...
ERROR: Could not create the file
'C:\Users\JTB\AppData\Local\Temp\VSIA76E.tmp' 'Access is denied.'
ERROR: Unrecoverable build error

Did you find any solution yourself?

Here is the solution to the problem that worked for me.
I fired up cmd as administrator and run:
regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\MSI
Tools\mergemod.dll"

I gave up trying and switched to ClickOnce for that app.

Thanks for the info and the link, I'll check it out.
