I try to experiment deploying my Vb.net application by following the basic
steps but encounter this error.

I follow every step and every display agrees with what the tutorial says and
the IDE responds with "Build successful". When I started the setup.exe file
in the debug folder with the same machine that develops my test application,
all run as expected until the it gives out the error message:

Error reading from file
C:\..\mypath\myAppn.msi Verify that the file exists and that you can access
it.

I follow both these two tutorials from the net (both tutorial are in fact
very similar) but no luck.
http://www.startvbdotnet.com/extras/deploy.aspx
or
http://www.devarticles.com/c/a/VB.Net/Deploying-Applications-in-VB.NET-Part-1/

I have checked the debug directory it does contains the msi file.

What should I look for now? Your kind reply will be given feedback. Thank you.

the above error message.

You will be better off posting to a dotNet newsgroup. This group is
frequented by classic VB developers (VB6 and lower) - most don't even have
dotNet loaded on their machines.
