unrecoverable error in VS 2005 Deployment project build
by VmF5VGVr » Sun, 15 Jul 2007 01:50:01 GMT
Hi All - I posted this under setup and realized that isn't appropriate - I am
trying general now.
The exact problem is that when I build/rebuild a certain deployment project
on our build server either in the UI or using the command line command of
devenv.exe the build ends with an "unrecoverable" error.
Other bits of information:
A) The build works on other machines just not the build server.
B) Other builds work on the build machine just not this particular one. It
is a large solution with 25 projects. In the past year the solution had more
projects but some have been removed.
C) I have repaired the VS 2005 install. Rebooted. Reloaded the solution from
source safe.
I have already read the article at
http://www.**--****.com/
It defines 5 areas to investigate and fix.
1) to many code and design windows open -
In this situation none are open - generally this is running from the command
line. In testing with the UI no windows are open except the start window.
2) Multiple folders have same name. The project is quite large but the
deployment project builds on another xp machine with the same amount of
memory.
3) Missing registrations - the problem machine has all the indicated
registry entries. Remember other builds work on this machine.
4) Mergemod.dll is not registered correctly
I have registered this dll and ole32.dll as well.
5) Upgrade from the Beta 2 of Visual Studio.
This system never had the beta 2 version.

I have the same problem. I figured out my cause.
My app has 2 activex that needs to be register, so I changed to setup to
install them to the system folder and to register them.
I get the error. I change it back to the application folder and I don't get
the error and it builds ok.
Hope this helps

Hope this is the right place for the post.
VS 2003
When I try to buld any setup package I get the "Unrecoverable Build Error"
Been through the KB Article 329214 PRB: Unrecoverable Build Error"
Been through all the Resolution steps, including uninstalling VS.NET 2003
and reinstalling
Verified all the registry keys listed in the KB Article Above.
Re-registered Mergemod.dll as described.
Still get the error.
Perhaps there is something really simple I am failing to do, but I cannot
find it.

4.setup project unrecoverable build error
Hi, guys,
I am practicing the setup wizard of VC.Net. When I build the setup project,
I am always told "unrecoverable build error". I really have no clue what's
going on here.
I tried this on W2K and windows XP. Start the setup wizard, select the setup
for a windows application, and include the release .exe file, and then
build. I think this is all I need to do.
Anybody can tell me what's going on here?
Thanks a lot for your attention.

5.VS Deployment Project throws Sql Server 2005 Tools error
I'm trying to construct a deployment project using Visual Studio 2005.
I have done this more than once, but today, it began throwing a very
lengthy error that begins:
The setup has encountered an unexepected error in datastore: The
action is SetInstanceProperty.
I haven't installed any new software and to ensure that it wasn't the
result of a goofy launch condition, I created a blank deployment
project and attempted to build. I get the error, even with a blank
project.
Anyone have an idea as to what might be happening here?
I have Visual Studio Version 8.0.50727.62 (SP.050727-7600) and am
using Sql Server 2005.
Thanks for your help,
Vic
