Why doesn't measurement studios work with visual studio setup wizards?

[John At BTI]

I am using Windows XP and Visual Studios .NET with Measurement studio 7.1 . My program is written with C# and includes: waveformGraphs, scatterGraph and a 3D graph. I created a setup wizard with Visual Studios according to this article:

I get the 2705 error when I try to execute my setup program. The building process of the setup program produces one warning:

WARNING: Unable to find module dependency with signature 'nimetautils.91D5760B_F9E8_4332_BFB1_38A4CB799A3E'

I have tried to add the merge module "nimetautils.msm" but the same warning occurs. But when I add nimetautils.
msm the setup program executes. The problem is that there is an exception that happens. 'System.TypeLoadException'. This problem occurs on my laptop but not my development computer.

I suspect that the setup program isn't able to detect all of the dependencies needed to run the program properly.

What do I do?

You most definatly should be able todo this. First usually that 2705 occurs when you don't add the special folder of program files into you setup project. Since you followed the knowledge base I am sure you did this. I am going to give you a could links which you may or may not have seen. If none of these are helpful please let me know and I will help you more.
