    Me too.
    I've written a simple project in vb2005 and when i try to build a setup project this error is always returned.
    I did as MS suggests with no results..... help!

    Reboot, open your project again, got to  Build->Clean<app name>
    Then try to rebuild it again.

    Damn!
    I've just reinstalled VS2005, after removing everything about it and .NET Framewok 2.0 and 1.1.
    But the problem still appears. I don't know what to do.
    Creating an empty project setup it succesfully builds, but adding the primary output from the project i want to distribuite, the build process always fails.
    I hope for suggestions from MS.
    I don't think about reinstalling Windows. It may be the solution, but i'm afraid of the problem still remains.

    This worked for me:

    Mergemod.dll is not registered correctly
    To resolve this problem, register Mergemod.dll again. Typically, Mergemod.dll is located in the following folder:

    C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\MSI Tools\Mergemod.dll

    To register the Mergemod.dll, type the following command at a command prompt, and then press ENTER:

    regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\MSI Tools\mergemod.dll"

    I finally solved the problem by getting rid of everything relative to .net earlier version and then reinstalling 2005 .net.
