You cant catch me update on bugs daily, but a bug that actually have been discussed in Microsoft formal newsgroup caught my attention for repeating itself over and over...
it seems that installing Install Shield 7 on top of Visual Studio .Net kills the windows installer...well not really but looks like it.
what install shield is doing is removing certain registry keys that are important for windows installer.
so if you got a weird error while compiling a setup project in visual studio .NET:
'An error occurred while validating. HR = 0x80040155'.
don't despair, you can download my export of the registry and import it, close visual studio
.NET, restart it, and everything will be cool...
