Web Setup Projects Visual Studio 2008

I was having issues creating a Web Setup Project in VS 2008. I have created projects in the past using VS 2005 and the same methodology did not work. After a few hours of research and the error below, I was getting a little aggravated.




The solution came to me as I was digging into IIS. The dll for the app was in a 2nd level bin folder instead of the main bin folder.



So instead of copying the primary content from the web app folder to the bin folder, I left it where VS 2008 placed it.



The result is a properly working application with the dll's in the right folder.
