I am a new user to Visual Studio .NET 2003.
I am attempting to create an MSI Install package for my project.
Visual Studio had been re-installed on my machine and when I open my project it shows the setup project as unavailable. When I try to add the Setup project (which contains the components for creating my MSI Install) I get an error message "File or assembly name FxMdacPlugIn, or one of it's dependencies, was not found."
Can anyone help me on this?
Would it be easier to start over??

Are you trying to deploy your ASP.net Project?
It's much easier to use the "Copy Project" button at the top of the solution explorer, or just do a file copy to the target location. With the built in install package thing, you'd have to have it create the virtual dir, etc in IIS to really do it right. If it doesn't do that, all it's doing is a "zip" and a file copy. Might as well save yourself some time nad headaches and just do the file copy yourself.

I'm getting the following error after I copy the project output files to the destination (which is on a server on the network)

An unhandled exception of type 'System.Security.SecurityException' occurred in mscorlib.dll

Additional information: Request for the permission of type System.Security.Permissions.SecurityPermission, mscorlib, Version=1.0.5000.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089 failed.
