"Unable to build dialog module" on changing development system
Ram Shriram
moved the whole solution and all projects to another development system, and
tried rebuilding the installer using VS.NET. I am getting a bunch of errors
as follows. I have made sure to install the same merge modules (in Common
Files/Merge Modules) as in the other computer where it works. I even tried
copying over the entire Common Files/Merge Modules folder from the system
where it works to the new development system in vain.
Please let me know how to get rid of these errors, and be able to build my
installer on the new development system.

Thanks for posting. We have just received a similar report from our product
support service. Currently the situation is under investigation.
I will keep you posted if there is any new findings. By the way, could you
let me know which merge modules you are using? If we remove the merge
modules from the project, does it work?

I am using the following merge modules:
comcat.msm
oleaut32.msm(Excluded)
vc_user_atl71_rtl_x86_---.msm
vc_user_crt71_rtl_x86_---.msm
vc_user_mfc71_rtl_x86_---.msm
vc_user_stl71_rtl_x86_---.msm
comctl32.msm
msvbvm60.msm
Do you know of a workaround that I can use in the meantime?
Thanks,
Rohit

Thanks for your update. I am sorry but the current workaround is to create
a new setup project with the same set of files.
I will do some further research on this issue.

I have done some tests with the merge modules. I cannot reproduce the
situation. I am using the VS.Net 2003 merge modules, as long as those from
VS 6 SP 6:

Is there anything else special with the project? Are the project outputs
included in the setup project share the same path between the 2 machines?

images that I'd used for the forms.
Hope this helps.

This helped me fix it - the problem was caused due to incorrect path of the
banner bitmaps when I moved the project from one system to another.

The problem was due to my having incorrect path for the banner bitmap in the
other system. Warren's suggestion below helped me isolate the error.
Thanks,
