This doesn't sound familiar... but there are a couple things you can do to debug this.

Firstly, is this a build error from the setup project? I don't ususally see $[OutputDirectory] tokens in error messages. These are supposed to be resolved before we see them.

Secondly, you can open the "files" property of the Project Output Group that should be including that file, check to see the path it is using, and whether you can find the file.

Do you need to deploy this file? If not, you can "filter" it out using the Filter property in the Project Output Group.

I have encountered the same issue.

My application is a C++/CLI application build in VS 2005. I am using Infragistics ultraGrid controls. When I build my setup file, I always got this error:

Starting pre-build validation for project 'Deployment'

Pre-build validation for project 'Deployment' completed

3> Rebuild All started: Project: Deployment, Configuration: Release

Can you help what is going on here?

I am getting the same issue. My project is a C++/CLI project and build in Visual Studio 2005. My application's GUI uses Infragistics's ultraGrid controls. Before I add ultraGrid, the setup project was fine, after I added Infragistics's controls, then the setup build always gives me this error. Can some one help?

Thanks in advance!
