Hello, everyone

I have a asp.net project that includes couple aspx files and Lesson1 and Lesson2 folders
Both Lesson1 and Lesson2 include Text folder and Audio folder

After I add a web setup project for it. When I build the solution. I always receive

Error: unable to pacakage Text folde
Error: unable to package Audio folde

If I delete the Lesson2 folder, I can build the solution successfully.

I wonder if we can not have the same subfolder name in one project?

Could anyone help? I do appreciate your help

Hi Haiwen,

Thanks for posting and nice to see you again.

Based on my past experience and understanding with setup projects, they
should handle duplicate file names or directory names without any problem.
In fact, the directories are represented as something similar to
"_ED465EE9959B430BA9D3B5ABDADC2E6F" internally in the MSI and there should
be no collision.

I have also try to reproduce the error with both VS.Net 2002 and VS.Net
2003 but failed. If we create a new Web Setup project for the ASP.Net
project, do we still have the problem?

Hi Haiwen,

I have done some additional research on the issue. It seems that duplicate
directory names may cause some issues:

PRB: "Unrecoverable Build Error" Error Message When You Build Setup and
Deployment Projects
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=329214

If creating a new WebSetup project does not help, would it be acceptable if
we use different names for the folders? If not, we may need to make use of
a Windows Installer Platform SDK tool named "Orca" to rename the folder
after building.
