Deploying A Solution

[Jefftopia]

Trying to deploy my first solution and am having problems.

Following instructions per "SAMS Teach Yourself Microsoft Visual C# .NET 2003". Built a Picture Viewer project in Hour 1 and am currently in Hour 22 attempting to deploy the Solution I constructed in Hour 1.

To deploy my solution I have done the following:

1) Created a custom setup program (ie. Setup Project)
2) Added the output of my project.
3) Installed final executable of Picture Viewer project in Setup Project.
4) Defined the Build Configuration for the Setup Program as "Release Build".

The error I am receiving occurs when I then try to Build the Setup Program. The error reads: "Unrecoverable build error E:\MyProjects...Picture Viewer.vdproj". It doesn't provide me with any other info than that. The only thing I can think of is that the common language runtime (DotNetfx.exe) does not exist on user's machine.

Anyone else have similar problem when deploying solution or have any suggestions. Thx

It wouldn't have anything to do with the user's machine if you're getting a build error. That would be on your machine. Also, no offense, but this is a VB forum, not C#. You might have better luck on a forum for C#.
Don't know exactly what's causing your problem, but Pirate once posted this handy link to MSDN on deploying an app. Skip the first part, that's about making an app in the first place. Don't know if it applies to C#.

Good link. I will try later in the day. Thks and apologies for posting to wrong section of forum. I am going to post in C# section also to see what other responses I receive.

Also, releived that you share beleif that this is actually not an error relating to common runtime language (Dotnetfx.exe) on user's machine.

You will get a problem there if the framework (dotnetfx) isn't installed on the user's machine, but from your post the problem occurs when you try to build the solution on your machine, which would have the framework since you have VS.Net installed.
