targeting '(null)' is not compatible with the project's target platform 'x86'

Hi,

My C++ (MFC static) 32 bit exe created by VS 2008 is targeted for win32 (the only option available apart from x64 and
Itanium).

The VS 2008 MSI project build reports:

ERROR: File 'MyApp.exe' targeting '(null)' is not compatible with the project's target platform 'x86'

Where is the MSI project looking to find '(null)'?

How do I make my exe (which *is* x86) 'compatible' to the MSI builder.

Thanks,

Jan

Having fiddled about with the setup project (nothing apparently related to this issue) the problem has gone away. I dont
like problems that go away 'of their own accord' as they tend to reappear in a similar manner :-).

Cheers,

Jan
