Error code in building VB.Net Setup project

[Simon Jefferies]

Hello,

I've created a fresh VB.NET Setup project using the wizard.

When I build the project I get the following error message:

ERROR: An error occurred while validating. HRESULT = '80004002'

Any ideas?
TIA

I have heard of this occurring in the past, usually because of a registry corruption of some registered interfaces
(generally not caused by the Visual Studio install, but some other application). It appears that at least one in
instance showed that the entries for the IEnumVARIANT interface were corrrupted. You should check your registry
and see if it matches the following:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Interface\{000 20404-0000-0000-C000-0000
00000046}]
@="IEnumVARIANT"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Interface\{000 20404-0000-0000-C000-0000
00000046}\NumMethods]
@="7"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Interface\{000 20404-0000-0000-C000-0000
00000046}\ProxyStubClsid]
@="{00020421-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Interface\{000 20404-0000-0000-C000-0000
00000046}\ProxyStubClsid32]
@="{00020421-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}"

If not, that is probably the source of your problem. Export the above to a .reg file and run it.
