I've already checked out some of the other posts related to this question, but none seem to help.

Here's the situation: I am create an API and using Web Installer to install. When the program is in a stable state, I am able to build everything and install just fine. However, if I make a change to any file that is (seemingly?) not a .cs file, then the installer has this issue.

Example: I add a service reference to an existing service via the "Add Service Reference" option, the Web.Config is auto-edited, the installer won't install.

Example: I add/edit a seemingly random file, the installer won't install due to Error 2727"

The project builds fine, everything compiles, I don't understand what the problem with the package could be.

The exact text shown is "The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2727."

What I've tried:

  • Creating a new web installer project
  • Adding/Removing file from what the web installer builds (e.g. source files from project, debug symbols from project, etc.)

Thank you in advance for anything you might have to offer!

The answer to this is that for the web installer, the only files needed to add are:

  • Primary Output from Project
  • Content Files from Project

This is working for me now, hopefully this helps whoever comes across this in the future.
