I am using:
- Visual Studio 2010 on a x64 machine
- Building a Windows Application
- Targeting .NET Framework 4 Client Profile and x86.
- I am deploying with ClickOnce.
- I have installed the "Microsoft Windows SDK for Windows 7 (7.1)".
Here is my problem:
On an old project, on the project properties, Publish tab, Prerequisites... button, I open this dialog box. All the listed prerequisites have a yellow, triangular warning, stating, "Prerequisite cannot be found for bootstrapping". The effect is that the ClickOnce setup.exe cannot correctly install the prerequisites for users.
If I create a new, empty project from scratch, the Prerequisites box is empty.
Here is information about various folders:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Bootstrapper\Packages contains all the bootstrap packages.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Bootstrapper\Packages contains all the bootstrap packages.
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1 did not have a Bootstrapper folder.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\SDK that has nothing in it but an empty v3.5 folder .
Environment WindowsSdkDir=C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\
Registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\GenericBootstrapper\4.0\Path = C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Bootstrapper\Packages
Here is what I have tried:
I have tried copying the Bootstrapper folder from C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\ to C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1 but that did not make a difference.
I have tried copying the Bootstrapper folder from C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\ to C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\SDK\v4.0. That did not make a difference.
Any suggestions?
