Winforms desktop app setup bug? RRS feed

    I'm a long time WinForms developer in both C# and VB. For the life of me I can't figure this out...

    Say I create 2 seperate desktop .NET apps, and I create 2 seperate setup projects. I install app1 and use it, then close app1. Next I install app2, use it, then close it. Now I go back to app1, double click the icon and, (about 70% of the time), it either prompts me, as it is looking for the setup.exe file. If I haven't moved the location of the setup.exe file it goes ahead and re-installs app1. If I moved the original setup.exe then I need to show it where it's at.

    My question is why is this happening, and what do I do to fix it?

    VS 2010\2008 Team DB Edition, Win7 OS, C# and VB.NET

    Thanks!!
