Hi,
I have created a set up project for VS shell Isolated 2010 by folllowing the steps given in msdn web site(http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb685514.aspx).
I ran the set up. It ran successfulll. But when I am trying to launch that application, it errors out. The message that it shows is
“The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect. Please see the application event log or use the command-line sxstrace.exe tool for more detail.”
In eventviewer, the detailed message gives as follows:
“Activation context generation failed for "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\MySetUp\VSShellSetupTest.exe". Dependent Assembly debuggerproxy.dll,processorArchitecture="X86",type="win32",version="1.0.0.0" could not be found. Please use sxstrace.exe for detailed diagnosis.”
when I searched over the net, I came to know that Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package is missing. Even though I install it, I got the same error.
Also I'veI tried to add debuggerproxy.dll in the folder where application has been set up, but am unsuccessful in running the application.
When I tried sxstrace.exe, it has generated a file which is not in a readable format.
How ever, when I've tried to create a set up projects for normal VS applications, it worked successfully.
Also, I’ve tried to open VS Shell in the system where there is not VS installed. I got following error
“The Application Data folder for Visual Studio Tools for Applications could not be created.”
Please let me know where I went wrong.
