    This is so *darned* frustrating.

    I took a look at your other setup project reference and tried to follow it.
    Again, there are problems.

    While compiling the CustomInstaller part of the project, I get a failure to
    recognize "using System.XML;" The error indicates that an assembly is
    missing. I've manually included 'System.XML.DLL' yet the problem persists.
    Why?

    Additionally, there is a problem with "[RunInstaller(true)]" I've tried
    including every darned assembly I can find and none seem to make a
    difference. What am I missing?
    c:\ce\pockethello\custominstaller\custominstaller.cs(2,14): error CS0234:
    The type or namespace name 'XML' does not exist in the class or namespace
    'System' (are you missing an assembly reference?)

    c:\ce\pockethello\custominstaller\custominstaller.cs(20,3): error CS0246:
    The type or namespace name 'RunInstaller' could not be found (are you
    missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
