RE: 2.0 web service msi

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


I have a 2.0 web service. When I do a direct copy solution folder to a
different machine the web service works. I have created a web
deployment project and web setup project in VS 2005 to create a msi.
When I install web service through msi I get the below error

Binary format of the specified custom attribute was invalid.
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of
the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more
information about the error and where it originated in the code.
What am I missing when installing through msi?

Exception Details: System.Reflection.CustomAttributeFormatException:
Binary format of the specified custom attribute was invalid.

Stack Trace:


[CustomAttributeFormatException: Binary format of the specified custom
attribute was invalid.]
