Why on earth are you using Flash? It's a dead platform, as of last month.

That isn't an error. It's a warning. The setup creation tool cannot determine what files (.dlls) the flahs.ocx is dependent on. It's saying you have to manually determine and add any dependencies files by hand. The tool cannot do it for you.

Thank you for reply. I think it is because of crystal reports. I have added the crystal runtime as well, but unfortunately due to this warning the setup project is not building the setup installation file. I am totally lost in how to solve this. Please advise and help

You can start by not using Flash in your project.

Deeramaha 17-Jan-21 13:12pm

The problem I am using only crystal reports, from where it is picking up the flash.ocx, I have no clue....

Dave Kreskowiak 17-Jan-21 13:13pm

Did you add it as a Reference in your project?

Deeramaha 17-Jan-21 13:14pm

Actually I using crystal reports. From where the flash.ocx is picked up I have no clue.

Deeramaha 17-Jan-21 13:15pm

I did add crystalruntime as references

Deeramaha 17-Jan-21 13:16pm

I cannot change to other report system cause already a lot of work has been done on Crystal reports

Deeramaha 17-Jan-21 13:18pm

There is no issue when I do a publish. But unfortunately cannot create a setup file

Dave Kreskowiak 17-Jan-21 13:19pm

What are you using to build the setup?

Deeramaha 17-Jan-21 18:21pm

Visual studio setup project

Dave Kreskowiak 17-Jan-21 20:35pm

I would recommend using something else to build the installer, like InstallShield LE, Wix Tools, InnoSetup, or similar. The in-built Setup and Deployment project is garbage, in my humble opinion.

Thank you Dave. Will try your suggestion and update you on the outcome

Deeramaha 18-Jan-21 9:29am

Hi Dave, Once again thank you for trying out to help me. In fact I went into the dependencies files and removed flash file and then added the log4net.dll separately again into the upload files as it was also showing error and viola the setup file was done.

Solution 2

You have these dependencies deep in your project. Search the project settings and maybe all project files to remove or substitute them.

Maybe you have an ocx control in the UI. Try to remove it and use another one. Flash is dead like a "dead horse" ...
