Build Setup 'unrecoverable build error'

If you receive a ‚Unrecoverable build error‘  when trying to build a Setup Project in Visual Studio 2005 or 2008 try at first the official resolution of MS http://support.microsoft.com/kb/329214/EN-US/.

If its still produces this error try this:

regsvr32 ole32.dll

Thanks a lot! regsvr32 ole32.dll worked, nothing else I tried did.

Using Visual Studio 2008, Measurement Studio 8.6, XP.

The same error may occur if the temp folder contains too many vsiXXXX.tmp files, where XXXX is a hex-number representation. For each setup project VS2008 creates such a file, in our case in 6 months time there were 64k of such files in the temp folder on our build server. Removing these solved the problem

Hi Nadine, thank you it worked out well. Jesus, how I hate this out-of-my-common-sense Microsoft's bugs.

@Kees Hoogakker

We, too, had too many vsi*.tmp files in the %temp% folder.  Deleting them solved the problem.  Thank you very much.

Neither regsvr32 "xxx" nor clearing temp files worked for me (Win7-64bit). I had to manually remove all the bogus ProjectSection(WebsiteProperties) sections from the solution file, and only then did the setup project build successfully.
