I have a bunch of programs set up as prerequisites in the VS bootstrapper. Recently, everytime I build on my machine and try to run setup.exe, I get an error ".....msi has either changed or been corrupted since the package was originally published". I know this isn't a problem with the setup or the msi files because I done the exact same thing on another development machine and copied the output to my machine and it's worked. I figure it must be something within the visual studio - bootstrapper connection. Anybody have any ideas?

Have you tried checking the log file ActivityLog.xml. It's under AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0

You need to run Visual Studio this way "Devenv /log"

  • I don't see any ActivityLog in that folder. Is there anywhere else it could be? – mrK Sep 06 '12 at 15:44
  • Sorry, I forgot to say you have to pass "/log" parameter to devenv.exe http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms241272.aspx – Hernan Veiras Sep 06 '12 at 18:10
  • I did that, still can't seem to find the file. This could be because it's not actually throwing an error during the build. It just gives me an error when I run setup.exe. – mrK Sep 06 '12 at 19:48
