Visual Studio Installer Package not Building

hi, i am trying to build an installer for a windows service i have created and when i go to build the module i am getting the following message..

========== Rebuild All: 1 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 skipped ==========

but there is no information about what actually failed.

For some reason the installer is not building right. does anyone know how i can get more information?

It's very odd that it would fail with no error messages. Can you try to do a build clean followed by an explicit rebuild all.

Please make sure to check

Output Window
Task List (make sure it's pointing to build error and not todo information)

the weird thing is that it does produce an msi

Seems kinda silly but are you sure you don't have your build output set to Quiet?:

Tools->Options-->Projects and Solutions->Build and Run.

Check the 'MSBuild project build output verbosity' that it's not set to Quiet. Usually Minimal will give you enough info to go on, although you could try a higher setting.

have looked and found nothing to indicate a failed build. one thing i did find is that if i create a new solution and slowly build back the old one, the point at which the new installer fails is when i ad a linq dataclass. are there any known issues with linq and a vs installer?
