I guess they are in different tables. It have been working ok, but I have today got stuck by this error: LGHT0216: An unexpected Win32 exception with error code 0x65B occurred: Function failed during execution <Component Id="IronPython.dll" Guid="*"> <File Id="IronPython.dll" Source="$(var.MyProj.TargetDir)IronPython.dll" KeyPath="yes"/></Component><Component Id="Microsoft.Dynamic.dll" Guid="*"> <File Id="Microsoft.Dynamic.dll" Source="$(var.MyProj.TargetDir)Microsoft.Dynamic.dll" KeyPath="yes"/> </Component><Component Id="Microsoft.Scripting.dll" Guid="*"> <File Id="Microsoft.Scripting.dll" Source="$(var.MyProj.TargetDir)Microsoft.Scripting.dll" KeyPath="yes"/> </Component> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Free Next-Gen Firewall Hardware Offer Buy your Sophos next-gen firewall before the end March 2013 and get the hardware for free!
