Deploying an add in using set up project problem

[marwamohamed]

I have created a set up project to deploy an esri addin.

I have used this tutorial ArcObjects 10 .NET SDK Help

I am using Arc10.2.1. I use this regkey: SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\ESRI\Desktop10.2 instead of ' SOFTWARE\ESRI\Desktop10.2'

mentioned in the above link.

When I try to use the set up.exe i created, I get this error 'ArcGIS Desktop 10.2 is required before you can complete this setup.'

while the target machine has ArcGis desktop 10.2 installed.

Any help will be appreciated.

Why have you created a setup project to deploy the addIn? You can just doubleclick on the addIn to install it, you don't need a setup project.
