Unable to add a Setup Project from VS 2005.

When attempting to add a project that is a Setup Project I am getting this message. I am unsure how to resolve this issue to get the installer project into vault.

Any help would be appreciated.

Visual Studio is reporting that your working folder is C:\, which sometimes indicates that a project or file within the project or solution being added is outside your actual working folder. If the actual working folder does not match what Visual Studio is reporting, the project or solution will not be added correctly to Vault. Please check your project or solution for items that are located outside the working folder before adding to source control if C:\ is not the correct working folder.

Where is your primary solution located on disk?

Is any portion of that solution not located below the .sln file or maybe on the C:\ drive?

My solution is located in the default my documents\visual studio 2005\projects folder. All projects are located within that solution folder. I have two solutions that I have installers for and I get the same message for both.

There isn't much in the way of properties that I could find for the installer project. I was hoping that there might be something in there that would key me into the problem. How does vault get the working folder on the initial adding of a project?

Previously, I was able to add installer projects from visual studio 2003 with out any problems so this is new to me.

Thanks for you response,
John Meade

You should be able to just say OK to that dialog and keep going. That dialog only means that the default locations for your Visual Studio projects/solutions have changed.

I figured out why I have having this problem.

I had included a file into the installer that was located in a folder that was off the root. I had expected the file to be copied into the folder for the installer, but this didn't happen. In the end I am guesing that it thought the common folder was c:\. I have correct the problem by manually copying the file into the installer project folder.

I realized that after I added the project to vault.

Thanks for your help,
John
