Hi

When I build the setup project, I get the following message;

C:\myproj.vdproj 'shdocvw.dll' should be excluded because its source file
'C:\WINNT\System32\shdocvw.dll' is under Windows System File Protection.

Should I exclude the file or just ignore the message?

Thanks

Regards
 
Exclude the file. There's no point in trying to install it because it won't
overwrite the one that's already on the system.
 
This message is usually generated because a file in your package is part of
Windows and therefore you are not suppose to redistribute it with your own
package. You can exclude it and rely on the fact that Windows on the
target machine already has the necessary file to make your app work.
 
Hi Phil,

OK, I exclude the file, and it builds. Now I check my WebDeploy
project into my CVS, and run my NAnt script on the build machine
(which always cleans out everything, then checks out everything clean,
and then starts a build), and the file is included again. How do I
exclude it in such a way so that it STAYS excluded?

Thanks,
Ed

Whoops, my mistake. Perhaps I did "save all" in VS.NET before checking
in. My problem - not VS.NET2003's.

Sorry,
