Been getting a bit bored with the whole C# .NET thing and decided to take a stab at learning a new language.
It’s not that I don’t like C# I really do like it, but I spend all my time working in it at work and I never really get to “fool around” in it. So I decided to learn something new, something that is very far removed from anything I use at work.
Well Ok, technically it didn’t “eat” the setup project just manage to nibble at the dependencies.. (Of course this happens when you’re on a deadline racing against the clock trying to get something finished and built so that it can go off to a customer who is about to fly off to install it.)
So the problem is as follows you’ve got a Setup Project and when you build it you get an error similar to the one below, possible more than one error message (I had 5).
The dependencies for the object ‘policy_8_0_microsoft_vc80_atl_x86.msm’ cannot be determined.

“Dear Google,
I have found a bug in your Google Maps service. A big one indeed.
In fact, I worry for my life, that it might come and eat me.

the German military to aid you in the struggle against this bug.
The bug in question can be sighted here, in all it’s scary godzilla-like
mean self: Link to Bug
Yours truly.”

It’s been a long time since I last coded anything in Java or used NetBeans, a year and a half in fact. It’s was like riding a bicycle for the first time in years… I fell over a few times, didn’t have much direction and was a bit wobbly, but eventually it all started coming back to me. (Cue Celine Dion It’s All Coming Back To Me Now…)
