I cant deploy!

[Cassio]

Hi!
I realized this morning that I cant make any package. I hope I am missing something but I tried many times with different projects and simple examples and nothing worked. I get this output everytime I build a setup project:

------ Starting pre-build validation for project Setup2 ------ 
------ Pre-build validation for project Setup2 completed ------
------ Build started: Project: Setup2, Configuration: Debug ------

Building file D:\Documents and Settings\Cassio\Meus documentos\Visual Studio Projects\Setup2\Debug\Setup2.msi...
ERROR: Unrecoverable build error


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

    Build: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 skipped

Do you have any idea?

Thanks!

I uninstalled the VS.NET and the Framework, re-installed all over again and this problem still continue.
Im thinking of formating my hard drive.

I dont think you dont need to reformat your hard drive. Do you have a non distributable version of VS.NET? I have a version from school that wont let me distribute my applications. Maybe i can if i try hard enough but im pretty sure i cant with my version

Is it because your deploying a debug build? dont know just guessing.

Can you build your solution file without errors?
Maybe theres an error in your application that stops the deploying?

 

[Cassio]

It happens with every solution I try to deploy.
I have the Standard VB edition.

make sure you have closed all open files before building

Had the same problem (I also had a copy of .NET from school)
This seemed to fix the problem:
from the run dialog or command line:
regsvr32 "D:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\MSI Tools\mergemod.dll"

I have faced this problem while i renamed some project then i realized that both projects are using the same GUID. then i copied the entire project to some other computer and then it made the deployment package successfully.
