Hi Leedo,

These are my replies to your questions:

1. Did my .NET framwork installations affect my VS projects?

Reply: From my experience, the installations would not affect your projects, but it would affect the prerequisites packages. You need to check these directories:

§ 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\SDK\v2.0\Bootstrapper\Packages\dotnetfx�/span>

§ 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\SDK\v2.0\Bootstrapper\Packages\SqlExpress\en\�/span>

You can check the modified time of the files in the directories to see if they are affected by the installation. You can see a file named product.xml in each directory. The public keys can be found in that file.

2. How can I fix this please so that I can compile my setup project?

Reply: It is hard to find a good way to do this. A simple way is copying the files from anther machine where the projects can be built successfully. You can also create a virtual machine and make sure your projects can be built in that machine, then you can copy files from this virtual machine.

Let me know if this helps.
