【已解决】VS 2010编译项目出错：ERROR: An error occurred while validating. HRESULT = ‘80004005’

【问题】

用VS2010编译一个C#的项目时：

【记录】为IE9编写一个插件AutoRedirectGoogleErrorUrl，用于对于，点击google搜索到的但点击时无法打开的地址，实现自动跳转到原始地址

想要编译CSBrowserHelperObjectSetup(x64)时，却出现错误：

【解决过程】

1.去参考：An error occurred while validating. HRESULT = ‘80004005’，但是没找到其所说的“project\signing\create test certificate”

2.参考：How to fix the issue: An error occurred while validating. HRESULT = ‘80004005’，却找不到其所说的“ToolsVersion="4.0"”是在哪里的。

3.参考：解决error occurred while validating. HRESULT = ’8000000A’ and"Unable to update the dependencies of the project.问题，去：

这个是当前默认的选择：

看起来本身就是好好的，不需要修改。

然后重新编译项目，错误依旧。

4.按照上面帖子，重新关闭VS2010，再打开试试。结果问题依旧。

5.后来点击该项目，选择refresh dependencies：

结果问题依旧。

6.后来还是参考：How to fix the issue: An error occurred while validating. HRESULT = ‘80004005’然后去搜：

ToolsVersion="4.0"

然后找到：VS2010，VS2008，VS2005；工程之间的转换，然后注意到：

我此处的CSBrowserHelperObject.sln本身就是：

Microsoft Visual Studio Solution File, Format Version 11.00
# Visual Studio 2010

了，另外也才知道原来对应的ToolsVersion是在csproj文件：

CSBrowserHelperObject\CSBrowserHelperObject.csproj

中的，将其用Notepad++打开后，把对应的

ToolsVersion="4.0"

改为：

ToolsVersion="3.5"

（注意修改之前，当前先要关闭VS2010）

同时也注意到CSBrowserHelperObject.csproj.user中，也是ToolsVersion="4.0"，也去该其改为3.5：

7. 然后重新打开VS2010，结果又遇到了那个要求项目转换的事情：

只有继续转换了。。。

结果竟然遇到了那个悲催的“An error occurred while validating HRESULT = ‘8000000A’”：

然后去编译项目，又回到了最开始的80004005错误了。又回到了原点了。。。

8.再去安装那个帖子，去unload project：

然后修改CSBrowserHelperObject.csproj中的ToolsVersion为3.5，再去reload project：

此法，和之前手动修改的，效果一样，所以结果问题依旧，还是80004005的错误。

9.再参考：

Visual Studio 2008: ‘an error occurred while validating. HRESULT=80004005’ when building Installer Project

去把4.0和旧的3.5改为 3.5和旧的2.0：

再打开VS2010，同样会提示项目转换，继续转换，结果，同样的，还是遇到了8000000A的错误。

10。尝试去把整个项目原先依赖的.NET Framework从3.5改为4.0：

再重新编译试试，编译log如下：

可见，至少就消除了原先的：

“An error occurred while validating. HRESULT = ‘80004005’”

的错误，但是仍旧有之前就出现的那个错误：

ERROR: Unable to build custom action named ‘Primary output from CSBrowserHelperObject (Debug x64)’, InstallerClass property is only valid for assemblies

所以，可以算是解决了此问题了，剩下的就是解决余下的问题了。

详情参考:

【未解决】VS2010中编译一个C#项目出错：ERROR: Unable to build custom action named xxx, InstallerClass property is only valid for assemblies.

【总结】

此处的项目是从VS 2008转换过来的，其原先依赖于.NET Framework 3.5的，此处转换到VS 2010的项目后，编译遇到错误：

An error occurred while validating. HRESULT = ‘80004005’

尝试过：

1.将xxx.csproj中的ToolsVersion从4.0改为3.5

2.refresh dependencies

等办法，都没解决，最终解决办法是：

将（项目属性->应用程序->目标依赖库中的）.NET Framework从3.5改为4.0即可消除那个“An error occurred while validating. HRESULT = ‘80004005’”的错误。
