I am using VS 2005 but encountered the same issue:

  • Left Click on your setup project in the solution explorer
  • in the properties window to the right
    • select AddRemoveProgramsIcon
    • click browse
    • find the icon file in your File System for this setup project (go back and add it if it isn't added already)
  • Build your project, this should fix the issue.

I think the setup project is unable to find the icon thats why its throwing exception. Try choosing the Icon again.

  1. Rebuild your main application
  2. Goto your setup project .. then Application Folder
  3. Click on the MSDN Magazine** Handlers
  4. In the property window again choose the Icon
  5. Build your setup.
