ERROR: General failure building bootstrapper

[sheena]

Hi,

I have a problem when building a release version of my dot net
solution. I need to include the windows installer bootstrapper and do
so via the properties of my setup project.

This had been working correctly but then, when attempting to build a
release version that was actually required it falls over. This is the
message from the output window.


-------------------------

------ Starting pre-build validation for project 'XXXSetup' ------
------ Pre-build validation for project 'XXSetup' completed ------
------ Build started: Project: XXXSetup, Configuration: Release ------

Building file 'S:\PROJECTS\...\XXXSetup\Release\XXXSetup.msi'...
ERROR: General failure building bootstrapper
ERROR: Unrecoverable build error

-------------------------

Does anyone know what would cause this? I have been poring over my
solution for clues to no avail. Any suggestions? Please?
Thanks,
Sheena

Incase anyone else should have this problem - It was fixed by
reinstalling msvc.
