I have an application that works, which is written in VB using Visual Studio
2003. Now, I'm trying to create a setup application for it. As the
application uses Crystal Reports, I followed the instructions provided by
Microsoft in
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/crystalmn/h
tml/crtskdeployingwindowsapplications.asp

When I attempt to build the setup application, I'm getting the following
error in the task windows:
An error occurred when validating. HRESULT = '80040155'
The file listed is the setup's project vdproj file.

Here's the output from the output window:

------ Build started: Project: MyReport, Configuration: Release
..NET ------

Preparing resources...
Updating references...
Performing main compilation...
Building satellite assemblies...



------ Starting pre-build validation for project 'MyReport
Setup' ------
ERROR: An error occurred while validating. HRESULT = '80040155'
------ Pre-build validation for project 'MyReport Setup'
completed ------
------ Build started: Project: MyReport Setup, Configuration:
Release ------




---------------------- Done ----------------------

Build: 1 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 skipped


Anyone have any idea, suggestion, etc. as to what could be causing the
error, or how to resolve the problem?

TIA,

Thanks guys.

Per the KB article David referenced, I checked the various registry settings
(they were all okay), and then unregistered and re-registered mergemod.dll.
I went into Visual Studio, closed all the windows (per the KB article), and
then built the setup project. It compiled successfully. I'm not sure if
re-registering mergemod.dll or closing the windows did the trick, but in
either case, I'm able to build the setup project.

Thanks for the assistance,

Richard Rosenheim
