Setup project now gives error if the same file included twice opposed to warning in VS 2008

Question

I include 2 exes in my setup project which share dlls.  In 2008 this just resulted in warnings when building but I now get an error instead indicating that the file is already included.

I can fix this by excluding them but they will reappear after each build so have to be excluded again which slows the process down - example error message is below:



Error 14 Two or more objects have the same target location ('[targetdir]\interop.excel.dll') C:\Development\PIMS\PIMSSetup\PIMSSetup.vdproj PIMSSetup

If that what you want, take it. If not, ignored it and no complain

Answer 2

Hello Robert,

Thanks for your post.

I performed a test on my side, it always gives me a warning, not an error. Could you please provide more detailed information on how you create the setup project the refered projects?

As kaymaf suggested, it's better ask setup project questions on Windows setup project forum.

Thanks,
