I've created a custom setup package to install some fonts on a client machine and deployed it to the prerequisites folder under C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Bootstrapper\Packages\FontsInstaller. Everything is fine with reference it as a prerequisite in Visual Studio 2010 and I am able to publish the application without issue.
The client on the other hand gets an error during the Hash verification:
Verifying file hash
Error: Setup has detected that the file 'C:\Users\RMORAN~1\AppData\Local\Temp\VSD4684.tmp\FontsInstaller\fontsinstaller.msi' has either changed since it was initially published or may be corrupt.
I've tried including the hash and excluding it with the Bootstrapper Manifest Generator and I always get the same result on the client. The file is immediately deleted (for security reasons) as soon as it fails hash verification.
Now, I've found a Microsoft Connect bug report saying:
"I have a custom bootstrapper package installed as a prerequisite for my application. When I build this on a system that has Visual Studio 2012 installed, the installation fails with the following error:
Setup has detected that the file '...' has either changed since it was initially published or may be corrupt.
I am building in Visual Studio 2010, with no changes to the package or projects. When Visual Studio 2012 is not installed, this works as expected."
I tried building this installer on another workstation with no VS2012 installed, and it passes the hash validation on the client (I ran into a signing issue, but thats a different story). It really is a problem with the build machine having VS2012, not the client, as the package built on my original workstatio
