This is the output I get when I do a build on the setup project. Note that all the other files/outputs are from other projects within the same solution. How do I go about troubleshooting this?

Also, it creates the msi file, but when installed, application doesn’t work right. The console program is missing a lot of cout statements

Answer 1

In the ‘Tools->Options’ menu, ‘Projects and Solutions->Build and Run’ change the value of the ‘MSBuild project build output verbosity’ to Detailed or Diagnostic, should help you find the problem.
