Open original thread
Hi guys. i have a project upgraded from vb08 to vs2010, and it uses some interop to call matlab as COM server. When I tried to deploy the project in VS, using setup wizard, I built the setup project and got these errors:

An error occurred generating a bootstrapper: Unable to finish updating resource...

And:

A single valid machine type compatible with the input type library must be specified.

It seems like a very vague and general question that so far there's no clear answer on msdn about this.

What makes it worse was I saw some ms mod suggests: "Use the workaround of running 64 bit command line directly. . Like this":

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Bin\x64\TlbImp.exe" C:\Windows\system32\ieframe.dll /namespace:SHDocVw /machine:x64 /outbj\x64\Debug\Interop.SHDocVw.dll

so i run this in command line... now I'm kinda desperate, since this didn't make my case any better, and I don't know how to get back. Can somebody tell me how to undo it??
Sorry for being a noob, but i don't know what was done by running that line in command line. I navigate into the folder location C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Bin\x64\TlbImp.exe and totally not sure what was done..

When answering a question please:
  1. Read the question carefully.
  2. Understand that English isn't everyone's first language so be lenient of bad spelling and grammar.
  3. If a question is poorly phrased then either ask for clarification, ignore it, or edit the question and fix the problem. Insults are not welcome.
  4. Don't tell someone to read the manual. Chances are they have and don't get it. Provide an answer or move on to the next question.
