Hi,

I'm trying to create a sample guidance package. I have deleted all the files in the existing package and added a project under Solutions/Project.When i was trying to register the Guidance Package , I'm getting the following error.

Recipe Framework Error

Failed to process package. See the Guidance Package Development output window for more information about the error..

no need to be such a smart ____!! The output window shows the same information that the popup shows. So where is the actual error message b.c I am getting the same thing. I can run the MSI and I used to get the error message there before the installation completed if I had a register error, but this time around the installation completes w.o an error. So where can I find the actual error b.c the output window does not show more detail.
