Hello and welcome to our forums,

Unfortunately, I cannot say for sure why this is happening.

In order for me to further investigate this, could you please send us the related solution and all of its included projects (without source code files) to support at advancedinstaller dot com so we can investigate them?

Also, in the meantime as a workaround you can try to create the setup project from scratch and manually add your solution output files into the newly created project. For a starting point please have a look on our "Professional" tutorial.

Best regards,

I used the tutorial to test out AdvancedInstaller on an existing project. I get the same visuals on my end, and you can expand the pop up to see the error messages. Mine says "The target 'GetTargetPath' does not exist in the project" for each project inside the solution.

This might be related to the TargetFrameworkS property defined within the solution. I created a new topic for this specifically which is pending approval.
