I'm unable to build a Setup Project in VS2010, for a Windows Service project. It fails with this error:
Could not find required file 'setup.bin' in 'C:\MyProject\Engine'.
My environment is Windows 7 Professional x64 with Visual Studio 2010 Version 10.0.40219.1 SP1Rel
I've downloaded Microsoft Windows SDK for Windows 7 and .NET Framework 4, repaired, then rebooted, then installed the unchecked components except Visual C++ compiler, then installed KB2519277.
These are the existing registry entries:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\GenericBootstrapper\3.5
Path = c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\Bootstrapper\
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\GenericBootstrapper\4.0
Path = c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Bootstrapper\
These are the existing files:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\Bootstrapper\Engine\setup.bin
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Bootstrapper\Engine\setup.bin
An existing workaround is to copy the Engine directory to the project directory, however this has to be done every time you make a new project.
How can this be fixed properly?
