Problem creating MSI Install Project in new user account.

Hi,

Running
VS Studio 2003
DotNet Framework 1.1

On XP Pro

I have an application and a matching deployment project(actualy
several)that have been developed under my own user account.

The Install builds and installs without any problems.

I wanted to isolate the build of the project from the development part.
To this end, I created a new user on my machine and checked out a fresh
copy of all the projects from the source control. The idea being that
each time, I would wipe out the code and get a new copy.

I complied them all, again without any probelems.

However when I went to biuld the deployment projects, VS starts looking
for a source of some kind and then reports an error (1706) that it
cannot find the source for the installer.

If I cancel, the project will biuld and not show any errors.

I'm rather confused by this, since this is an error that shows up duing
the Install/ReInstall on a machine, not while building it.

What exactly is it looking for? why can it not be found on the new
account.

Both accounts are admin accounts. The source code is in a diorectory
that both can access
c:\myproject\....

Thanks in advance for any ideas or suggestions.
