Question

Added .NET3.5 , .NET4 to project dependents, then selected “Download from local”, without web.

Got strange errors on building setup project :

Error 10 Unrecoverable build
error D:…\Setup\Setup.vdproj Setup

Error 7 The install location for
prerequisites has not been set to
‘component vendor’s web site’ and the
file
‘DotNetFX40\dotNetFx40LP_Full_x86_x64ru.exe’
in item ‘Microsoft .NET Framework 4
(x86 and x64)’ can not be located on
disk. See Help for more
information. D:….\Setup\Setup.vdproj Setup

Error 5 The install location for
prerequisites has not been set to
‘component vendor’s web site’ and the
file
‘DotNetFx35Client\DotNetFx35ClientSetup.exe’
in item ‘.NET Framework 3.5 SP1 Client
Profile’ can not be located on disk.
See Help for more
information. D:…\Setup\Setup.vdproj Setup

Error 9 General failure building

What it means ? How it happened ? How to fix it ?

Answer 1

When selecting “Download prerequisites from the same location as my application” option, the prerequisite is retrieved from it’s original location (in Program Files).

However, this works only if the prerequisite package exists. If the package doesn’t exist, you need to either download it from the vendor’s website or manually set the location.

If you still want to use the same location as your application, you need to modify the prerequisite information and make sure that its package is present on your machine. Perhaps this will help: http://danycxxx.blogspot.com/2009/09/download-prerequisites-from-same.html
