I have a rather bizzare situation. I went to build a release of a
product in visual studio for QA today. I generated the setup.exe file
just fine (MSI too). When QA ran the setup program the got the error
in the subject line. So I ran the setup on the machine that generated
the setup program and got the same error.

Other than Microsoft updates, nothing has changed with the system
since I generated the last setup ogram in Nov 2006, other than chaning
the program code, the setup orject is untouched. So I am a bit
curious as to what happened! Been doign google searches for a couple
hours and nothing seems to fit.

To summarize, visual studio generates a setup.exe from a SetupProject
that can not be run on the same machine that generated it. Yet 4
months ago it worked fine...

Now for some information. Normal 32bit system, not an itanium or 64
bit or anything exotic. Just a simple intel 32bit machine.

MS Visual Studio 2005 Version 8.0.50727.42 (RTM.050727-4200)
MS .NET Framework 2.0.50727

C# application.

Computer: Intel(R) - Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.ooGHz - 2.99 GHz, 1.50 GB of
