After 9 hours of arguing with Visual Studio 2003, I'm tired, frustrated, but triumphant.

I have no freakin clue what went wrong, but the end result was every time I tried to build my Web Deployment project, it bombed out with "Unable to build folder CBI".  Turns out that there are multiple folders spread out throughout the project tree named "CBI".  And VS2K3 doesn't like that when it's building an MSI.  If I went through the web project and renamed all those CBI folders, it worked fine.

The really weird part was that the project built fine on my workstation, but not on my build server.

Long story short, I uninstalled and reinstalled all my project dependencies on the build server, did a rain dance, and built the code on the c: drive instead of the d: drive (since that's where the original developer built his project).  Voila...  it works.

9 freakin hours.
