Setup project, can't get rtf files to display...

[Ime532]

I created a setup project that installs my web application just fine. However, I added a license agreement form and a readme form and set the file properties to rtf files and it is coming up blank. Here's exactly what I did:

1. Created setup project to be part of the solution that includes my application.
2. Added the two rtf files to the setup program using the wizard.
3. Went to user interface, added license agreement and readme.
4. Clicked browse under the licensefile property.
5. Double clicked on the Web Application Folder and selected License.rtf (what I named the file).
6. Repeated #5 for the readme form.

Then I rebuild the setup project to create the new setup.exe and .msi file. When I go to install, the license and readme boxes are blank. Yes there is text in the license.rtf and readme.rtf files so don't suggest that . Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

What i can think of right now, at 4 in the morning is that you should check the encoding of the text file.

Not sure what you mean by check the encoding, but it's an RTF file... created in wordpad.

I tried recreating the files in wordpad and saving them as RTF's and it still doesn't work. I'm out of ideas!

It started working! No idea why, I just tried linking to the rtf file while it was in a different directory and that did it.

Great!

I stareted a new project and added a setup project to test it. It did not work to me too. Then i saw that you were talking about a web and not a windows project... I tried and worked! Got back to the windows project and worked there too. I
