Deployment error message

I'm using a setup and deployment project in VB.Net to make my distributable
file. I set all my options and go to build my project and I get the
following error.

Error 1706. No valid source could be found for the following product
Visual Studio.Net Enterprise Developer 2003 English. The windows installed
could not continue.

Any ideas what's going on?

Thanks

Hi Chuck,

This error can occur if the media files required to make the .MSI files are
not accessible by the framework.
This can happen if the media that is currently being used and the media that
was originally used to install
the program have the MSI file at different relative paths.
To work around this problem, insert the visual studio disk into my cdrom
drive and then build the setup project.
When it is building the setup project it will search for the visual studio
disk and it will fix the problem.

For more on this error you can refer the following links
