unable to build visual studio setup project

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

I'm trying to use VS.Net 2005 setup project to build an installer for
my mixed assemblies. However, I keep getting the following error:
An error occurred while validating. HRESULT = '80004002'

I would prefer NOT to reinstall my development environment, but does
anyone know of another solution? This is my first attempt at using
what I thought would be a nice tool from MS, and I'm wondering now why
I'm disappointed...but I digress

First, I added all the files I need to deploy to the application folder
and setup my prerequisites. I got two of the error messages above.
Very descriptive and informative.

Then, I removed everything except my main application file. Same
errors.

Then, I removed all files, and I still get the same errors.

Any ideas??
TIA, Sharon
