Hi Jassi,

I have never seen this error, but a couple of things to try:

a) Silly but just to be safe - make sure your edition of VS .NET supports
setup and deployment projects
b) Make sure you have excluded the .NET Framework MSM module from the
installation
c) Try to repair VS .NET, it might be that registration for some VS .NET
components has been lost.
