dotnet setup:
Hi,

I am building a very simple application as part of a tutorial on how to
setup a Web Setup Project. The tutorial is from a MSFT courseware, but isn't
working on my machine. I am able to get the solution, with the setup project
in it, to build without errors. This produces three files in Debug folder:
Setup.exe, Setup.ini, and WebSetupDemo4.msi

When I double click the MSI file to run in it, I get the typical Windows
Installer message box -- but only for a split second, and then I get a
message that reads: "Installation Incomplete: The installer was interrupted
before WebSetupDemo4 could be installed. You need to restart the Installer to
try again."

But when I do this, I just get the same error. I am logged in as
Administrator. I have Windows XP, with Visual Studio .NET 2003. I have tried
restarting, but that didn't fix it either.

Oh, and I forgot to mention two more things:
1 - This machine is not hooked up to the internet.
2 - I noticed that the .ini file has this entry:
InstallUrl=http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=9832

Does this mean the installer is going out to the internet? Could this then
be the problem here?

How can I debug this MSI file? I read about others with MSI problems, being
able to read a long log about what it is doing... how do I do that?

Thanks!
