visual studio .net setup: I have a solution which contains a couple of VB Library projects, a VB
ASP.NET project and a setup project.

When I build the solution, I get an error under the setup's output as
follows:


------ Starting pre-build validation for project
'SubmissionWebSiteSetup' ------
------ Pre-build validation for project 'SubmissionWebSiteSetup'
completed ------
------ Rebuild All started: Project: SubmissionWebSiteSetup, Configuration:
Release ------

Building file
'C:\Build\Working\SubmissionWebSiteSolution\SubmissionWebSiteSetup\Release\S
ubmissionWebSiteSetup.msi'...
ERROR: Unable to build folder named 'registration'
Packaging file 'FR3_TenantAddressSearch.aspx'...
Packaging file 'FR2_LandlordsAddressSearch.aspx'...
....

There is no indication as to why it could not build the registration folder,
does anyone have an idea what might be up?

Your help will be appreciated.

Martin

P.S. If anyone knows of a better group to post this on, please let me know.

Hi

I am having the same error, and other than the fact that other people too are having this error, I can find nothing else

Have you found out anything more? I have really trawled the internet looking for answers and not come up with anything

Thanks

Hi Damian

I fixed this one by not having duplicate folder names in my project - I had two folders called 'preview' - by removing one this error went away! Not ideal...

I've run into this situation recently where this was the only error message, and found two causes:
1. There is a link in that specific folder to a file that no longer exists.
Remove that file and the error should go away.
2. You have more than one folder with the same name.
a. Rename the duplicate folder.
b. Ignore the message. Go ahead and build. All the files get included and get installed in the correct folders, even the duplicate ones are created just fine. Probably a left over artifact from when VC 6.0 would not allow you to create two project folders with the same name.
