Hi,

It will be in the Deployable Package folder..
Same Path as where your SetUp.exe is stored..

Hi,

I Guess, the error comes when you have created a set-up using P&D wizard for project containing MSCal.ocx (Calender control or MSAgent Control).
Also MSOffice2000 Office Installed in the same system..

M$ has confirmed that it is a Bug, Later versions of Office have been cleared of that bug..
