    Visual Studio - Setup Project unable to uninstall

    Hi

    I'm getting some really weird and unexpected behaviour when I build a setup project in Visual Studio 2005 containing an application I wrote.

    The installation runs fine and the application work 100%, BUT... As soon as the original setup files (the setup.exe and setup.msi) are delete or no longer available (Cd is ejected) the application refuses to run. It also does not want to uninstall using the Add/Remove dialog in the control panel as it says the files needed to uninstall are no longer available (I'm assuming its also looking for the setup files).

    I have no idea if there is a setting causing this to happen. If anyone has had this problem or know how to solve it, please let me know.

    Thanks in advance
    Stefan
