    I'm trying to use Windows Installer Projects to create a proper installer for [CodeProject SenseAI Server](https://www.codeproject.com/Articles/5322557/CodeProject-SenseAI-Server-AI-the-easy-way) and the various tutorials tell you to set some properties in the properties window for the project. I right click on the project and select Properties and the window that comes up is nothing like the window in the documentation. Then I finally realize they mean the OTHER Property window, the one you get by selecting the project and pressing F4. Really??!! I guess naming is hard even, for the Microsofties.

        This is an example of a Bill-failure of something ... neurons ? synapses ? ... thyroid meds ? I leave it up to remind myself there are occasional brown-outs in my perfection; besides, I like the taste of humble pie I make myself. :wtf:

        Why not ask the author of this recent project a question on the site ? That might help narrow down the scope of the problem. If the problem is not specific to this type of app, but, is, perhaps, a more general installer issue, try posting a detailed question on the appropriate QA forums.

          Chris and I are the authors. The statement was not about anything with the SenseAI project, rather the ambiguity in the names used for different views available in Visual Studio. Once I figured out that there are two different Property Views for a Project in Visual Studio, I was able to do what I needed and follow the examples.

            Sorry, Matthew ... I seemed to have missed the boat on that one :)
