Setup Project MSIs are too small - missing assemblies?   
Hello,

I am working on deploying a WinForm solution that I inherited (v1.1,
VS.NET 2003). I've made my changes to the forms and classes, and the
solution already has Setup projects for my working projects.

However, when I build the Setup projects, the MSIs they are producing
are way too small -- 80k instead of the 2-8mb of the prior release's
MSIs.

I didn't setup either the original solution, so I'm not sure why it
produced larger files than our newer one (recreated for VSS
integration). But, I am guessing it's due to the 3rd-party assemblies,
which tally in total ~8mb. It's my guess that these refs are not being
copied to the MSIs when the Setup projects build.

...Can anyone help?!


Thanks!

did some more poking around... it looks like for each Setup Project, i
have to include the desired project's output, via: " Add --> Project
Output... --> Primary Output".

...any tips or gotchas that i should be aware of?


thanks,
