VS Solution - Setup project not executed

FinalBuilder Bugs
1

Hi:

I have tried to execute a Setup Project incorported within a Visual Studio 2005 solution but always get an error message.

The solution has a C# project and a Setup project, the C# project compiles fine, but the Setup project terminates with the error:

C:\Documents and Settings\memory\Mis documentos\Visual Studio Projects\ExcelReader\ExcelReaderSetup\ExcelReaderSetup.vdproj(1,1): error MSB4025: No se pudo cargar el archivo de proyecto. Los datos del nivel de raíz no son válidos. Línea 1, posición 1.

Translated:
…MSB4025: Could not load the project file. The data at the root level are not correct. Line 1, position 1.

I get this on all my solutions that have a Setup project included.

I have attached the solution file and the projects, as this may help.

Martin Hart Turner.

I’m not able to reproduce this here. Can you post the full log output from the vs.net action and also the project with the action so I can see what settings it is using. Also, which version of FinalBuilder are you using (I’m testing with FB4.1).

Vincent:

I’m using version 4.1.0.228.

Please note that the ‘Release’ version is being constructed, I don’t know if this is significant.

I have attached the complete log.

HTH,
Martin.

Hi Martin,

Unfortunately, MSBuild doesn’t know how to build VS Setup projects. The quick solution is to uncheck the “Use MSBuild” checkbox on the Build VS.NET Solution action, or alternatively use individual actions to build each project (including using VS.NET to build the Setup project.)

Regards,


Angus

Angus:

Thanks, I unchecked the ‘Use MSBuild’ and it works fine.

Sorry for posting this non-FinalBuilder problem in the FinalBuilder bugs area :wink:

Martin.
