MSI Build generates O/R Designer Validation failed error

I am working in VS2008.  I have built an solution with 2 C# projects and 2
C++ projects plus a Setup project to build a MSI deployment package.

Everything is working and the .MSI fie is built and works also.

But when I select the stup project in my solution and choose "Build"

I get the following in the output window
----- Build started: Project: CMMainWindow, Configuration: Release Any CPU
------
O/R Designer validation failed for file:
C:\CM\CMMainWindow\CMMainWindow\DataClasses1.dbmlError: The operation could
not be completed. Unspecified error
------ Starting pre-build validation for project 'CMInstall' ------
------ Pre-build validation for project 'CMInstall' completed ------
------ Build started: Project: CMInstall, Configuration: Release ------
Building file 'C:\CM\CMInstall\CMInstall\CMInstall\Release\CALLMaster.msi'...

Despite that everything works fine.  What is the message:

O/R Designer validation failed for file:
C:\CM\CMMainWindow\CMMainWindow\DataClasses1.dbmlError: The operation could
not be completed. Unspecified error

The CMMainWindow is a C# project that uses LINQ and it has the
DataClasses1.dbml file, but that project compiles OK with no errors when it
is compiled seperately.

How can this be corrected?

Hello Morris,What if you temporarily exlude the setup project from the

Hello Morris,

What if you temporarily exlude the setup project from the solution and then
compile the solution? Do you still see the same error message?

You can also try set the MSBuild output verbosity to "Detailed" or
[jiewan at msft] the log file if you want).

Besides, try from a Administrator command prompt, run "devenv
/ResetSkipPkgs", and see if the error message goes away.

Let me know how it goes.

Thanks,
