I have never seen that error, but the path c:\temp\program.exe is very strange. Are you trying to run the installer from the c:\temp\ directory?

Are you certain the output of all projects and all third-party DLLs you use are included in the Deployment project? Click on all included files in the Deployment project and check their SourcePath property; are they to the original source files and not the target output folder? Not the temp folder?
