I have a setup project for a WinForms app on Visual Studio 2017 running on Windows 10. After one of the updates I made to Visual Studio version 15.4.X this error message started to appear 3 times every time I build the setup project:
I found similar questions about this same error here:
- Visual Studio registry capture utility has stopped working, error compiling C# project in Windows7
- Visual Studio registry capture utility has encountered a problem
but these are for previous versions of Visual Studio and for Windows 7 so I couldn't follow their solution because the path they describe doesn't exist. I got up to
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\Tools
but that's it, I don't have a "Deployment" folder and no regcap.exe file
