Hi,

I have created a VB.Net windows service. Everything was working fine
until I attempted to add a setup project. Now, for some strange, when
I try and run the application (using INSTALLUTIL to install/uninstall
it) I get the error:

(53) The specified module could not be found

When I debug the code, this error is thrown when the following code
read:

Dim xmlDoc As New MSXML2.DOMDocument40

Of course, the namespace needs to be imported at the top of my module.
The namespaces that are imported in the module are:

Imports System.Web
Imports System.Web.Services
Imports System.Web.Services.Protocols
Imports System.IO
Imports System.Xml
Imports System.Xml.XPath
Imports System.Data.Odbc
Imports System.Reflection
Imports System.Xml.Serialization
Imports System.Xml.XmlDocument
Imports System.Text
Imports System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.SoapMessag e
Imports System.Web.Services.Description

As I said, I have not deleted/removed any 'imports' from the version
that was working. When I compile the application, no errors are
reported.

Please advise. Thanks.

Jimmy

Do you really want to use MSXML 4 in your managed .NET code? Microsoft
does not support that:
<http://support.microsoft.com/kb/815112/en-us>

If you need an XML DOM document then .NET has its own implementation in
System.Xml.XmlDocument e.g.
Dim xmlDoc as New System.Xml.XmlDocument()
