Visual Studio 2015 msi build initiates another installation

Question

I\'m trying to build an msi project in my VS2015 solution. I had installed the VS Installer Projects Extension.

Everything was working great just a few days ago.

Answer 1

I had the same problem with VS 2015 asking for VS 2008 installation package.

Found this which solved my problem:

1. Open a cmd as admin.

2. Go to directory C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\microsoft shared\MSI Tools

3. run: regsvr32.exe /u mergemod.dll"

4. run: regsvr32.exe mergemod.dll"
