Hi Luchett,

Welcome to the MSDN Forum.

Based on my understanding, it seems that the target machine have no cooresponding version of the powerpacks packages. If you can thranslate the error message to english, I think I can get more exactly cause of this issue.

However, please try this solution first:

Change the Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks.Vs copy local property to true like the following:

 

 If you have any concerns, please feel free to let me know.

Hello Luchett,

Mike's suggestion is helpful. If you want to deploy an application that references Visual Basic Power Packs components, the components must be installed on the destination computer.

You could deploy Visaul Basic PowerPacks as the prerequisites of your setup project. Then it will install it if it needs and won't if it doesn't.

Right click your project-> Properties->Go to the Publish tab-> Click the Prerequisites button

Select Visual Basic PowerPacks, and choose "Download prerequisites from the component vendor's web site".

Then the project will deploy it as a prerequisite. In addition, if you don't have the PowerPacks under the Prerequisite list, please install SP1 for VS2010 or VS2008.

Please have a try and let us know the situation on your side.
