Setup project Rebuild All Failed with no errors

Question

_{Wednesday, April 4, 2018 12:36 PM}

Hello everyone, I have a simple solution that consist of one class and a setup project. The class is a simple COM object that wraps some of the functionality found in the "Microsoft Azure Storage Data Movement Library". The setup project just takes the primary output from the main project; simple right? Well the main projects builds without issues and the code works, but when I tried to build or rebuild the Setup project if fails with no errors displayed. It just says "Rebuild all failed". I noticed one of the dependencies on the setup project has a red squiggly line underneath; the file is msshrtmi.dll, see picture below:

have anyone experienced this before? I'm using Visual Studio 2017 with the latest update. My target is the .Net framework 4.6.1

Thank you in advance,

Luis

Hi Luis,

The red line means msshrtmi.dll has some errors and maybe can not find it, please try the following solutions:

1, Try to remove the dll and re-add it.

2, Before build the project, try to clean the solution.

3, Close the VS and reopen it.

Regards,

Frankie
