User(s) can reproduce this bug

I have a legacy VC++/MFC solution that includes a setup/deployment project. Right-clicking "Detected Dependencies" to run the "Refresh Dependencies" command generates the following error message: "The operation could not be completed. Exception occurred."

Details (expand)

English

Visual Studio 2005 Beta 2

Deployment

Windows XP Professional

English

Run the "Refresh Dependencies" command on an existing project. Note that this project is an upgrade from the previous (ie current release) version of Visual Studio.

Error message "The operation could not be completed. Exception occurred." No further details or information on the nature of the exception is provided by the IDE.

A refreshed list of setup project dependencies.

Hi,

Thanks for submitting this bug report. To help us debug and understand this issue, can you attach a Visual Studio 2003 Setup project for which this issue was occuring?

Thanks,

Additional info: "Refresh dependencies" operation works on new "Setup" project added to existing legacy project. Work around is to replace existing legacy setup project with new setup project.

This seems like a duplicate of https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/119625/setup-project-error-unable-to-update-the-dependencies-of-the-project#

This Hotfix worked for Visual Studio 2010 for me.
