Dont know what did I do to my setup project that has made it start giving me the following error. I am not installing anything from SysWOW64. I am using Win 7.

Any help on this will be appreciated.

Error 1001. Error 1001. Exception occurred while initializing the installation:

System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'file:///C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Files' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified..

I figured I was supposed to put additional \ at the end of the parameter value

/TargetDir="[TARGETDIR]\

Just figured it happens when I add the following line to Custom Action Data property of Install and Commit

/TargetDir="[TARGETDIR]"
