When I run the installer for my app, it is failing with the message "Exception occurrred while initializing the installation: System.IO.FileNotFound: Could not load file or assembly 'file:///C:\WINDOWS\system32\Time' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified."

The app I am trying to do my (first) installer for is a trivial web app that just display "Hello" in a label.

What could be wrong?

Rick,

Could you please check this:
- Does this problem occur when you run Setup.exe, or MSI? To find out run your MSI without Setup.exe.
- If this happens during MSI installation try removing custom installation steps that register your application with Cassini.

Thanks for the prompt reply.

I deleted the web app and setup projects, re-installed UltiDev Cassini, and created a new project from scratch. It's another trivial web app that just says "Hello". Then I created a new setup project from scratch and I'm still having the same problem:

"Exception occurrred while initializing the installation: System.IO.FileNotFound: Could not load file or assembly 'file:///C:\WINDOWS\system32\Time' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified."

When I click OK, this followed by another error:

"Could not find file "C:\Program Files\My Company Name\Setup1\Bin\UltiDevCassiniServerConfiguration.InstallState."

This happens whether I run the setup.exe or the Setup1.msi. I did remove the custom actions and the setup completes normally...but of course, no Cassini.

Rick,

This looks very strange. Can you please download and build our sample for Visual Studio 2005 and let us know if you are getting the same error? Additional info about the sample is here.

Please build and install the sample, and let us know whether it was successful.

Yikes, the sample app builds and installs just fine. It registered itself and works.
I guess that means something must be wrong with my project. But where to start? I'm pretty sure I followed the directions to the letter.

Well, it's just a wild guess, but try removing UltiDevCassiniServerConfiguration.dll from the setup project, and re-add it again to the Bin folder, following instructions. Also rebuild your custom action steps from scratch.
