Help with installation issues.

Hi all, I am a newbie to CSLA.Net. A friend recommended it and I am reading through Expert Business Objects right now. I have downloaded the latest code and am trying to figure it out. I have found a post which helped with the build of cslacs solution, which I have now compiled. However, what is the deal with the "Deploy" solution, do I need it? What does it do? I would like any productivity/VS add-ins, it looks like it may contain those. When I try to build it though, I am getting one error and one warning:

Error: Error 2 Cannot find outputs of project output group '(unable to determine name)'. Either the group, its configuration, or its project may have been removed from the solution. C:\Users\JoshPeltier\Documents\My Dropbox\VS Projects\cslacs-3.8.1-091111\Source\cslacs\deploy\Setup\Setup.vdproj Setup


Warning: Warning 1 All custom dialogs must precede the 'Installation Folder' dialog. C:\Users\JoshPeltier\Documents\My Dropbox\VS Projects\cslacs-3.8.1-091111\Source\cslacs\deploy\Setup\Setup.vdproj Setup


I am using VS2010 Beta 2, so that could be an issue too. Any other tips for getting up and running would be greatly appreciated!

Hope all are having a great thankgiving weekend!

I am having exact same issue with ALL the new versions. I thought it may be something to do with not having ASP MVC framework installed, so I tried that, and it still does not work.

Whats up with it, how do we get it to build the Setp (which I consider to be almost the most important thing of all)

Have a look at this issue screenshot



So just for a laugh lets remove that (more than likely very vital item from the Setup), and then try and recompile it again and we get the following:

Warning 1 All custom dialogs must precede the 'Installation Folder' dialog. C:\Users\sacha\Desktop\Downloads\cslacs-3.8.2-091210\cslacs\deploy\Setup\Setup.vdproj Setup
Error 2 'PreBuildEvent' failed with error code '1' 'Unspecified error' C:\Users\sacha\Desktop\Downloads\cslacs-3.8.2-091210\cslacs\deploy\Setup\Setup.vdproj Setup


Also in the cslacs-3.8.2-091210.zip there are 3 unloaded projects:

1. CslaLight
2. Cslacs.Test
3. CslaLight.Testing.Server

I should also mention that I too am using VS2010 beta 2, and have ASP .NET MVC installed.

The same thing happens with all 3.8.1 and even going back as far as 3.6.0 I can not get the thing installed (other problems missing projects for those)

What is going on, any chance this could be resolved?

I don't think you need the installation projects; I would just remove them from the solution.
