Deploy problem: error reading from ...xxxxx.msi file

I try to experiment deploying my Vb.net application by following the basic
steps but encounter this error.

I follow every step and every display agrees with what the tutorial says
and the IDE responds with "Build successful". When I started the setup.exe
file in the debug folder with the same machine that develops my test
application, all run as expected until the it gives out the error message:

Error reading from file
C:\..\mypath\myAppn.msi Verify that the file exists and that you can
access it.

I follow both these two tutorials from the net (both tutorial are in fact
very similar) but no luck.

http://www.startvbdotnet.com/extras/deploy.aspx
or

http://www.devarticles.com/c/a/VB.Ne...VB.NET-Part-1/

I have checked the debug directory it does contains the msi file and I can't
see any reason I don't have access. What could I look for now? Your kind
reply will be given feedback. Thank you.

Normally the setup.exe and the msi file would be located in the same folder.
You said the error refers to C:\..\mypath\myAppn.msi. Is that folder where
your setup.exe is? That doesn't look like the default debug folder path.

Sorry, I'm just too lazy to type

Yes, both there. The fullpath being:

"C:\...MPath\MyAppn\Debug\setup.exe"
and
"C:\...MPath\MyAppn\Debug\MyAppn.msi"
