Hello,

To install windows services on our client's site I'm using msi setup files created with Setup and Deoployment Project (VS2008). I'm using loose installation so assemblies are not packed but rather visible in the folder structure. The problem is that our solution contains projects specific to particular clients (in other words there's a 'core' part common for all and an customized assembly for particular customer), soafter Setup and Deployment Project is built every customer's assembly is in the setup project. In order to leave only assemblies relevant to a particular client I manually delete assemblies for other clients. That causes an error during installation since setup file demands those deleted files. Is thee a way to suppress it? I want the installer to ignore the fact that some of the files are missing.

I would like to avoid building seperate msi for each client, if possible.

BTW. I changed "Vital" option in file's properties but this doesn't solve the this issue.
