I have a .Net win forms application which uses Wi Fi Direct APIs available under Windows.Devices.WiFiDirect namespace.

I have referred to steps given in Is it possible to use Wi-Fi Direct from a non Universal application?. The application works perfectly and I now need to package it into an installer (msi).

I am using the setup project available within visual studio 2015. However I get ERROR: An error occurred while validating. HRESULT = '80070057' while trying to build it.

I suspect it is due to referencing the universal windows platform files i.e. winmd files. I have tried setting CopyLocal=false for those file, still no luck.

Anybody else faced similar issues? If yes - what was the solution?

Thanks.

[This answer](https://stackoverflow.com/a/32810288/43846) suggests **excluding** the winmd files. – stuartd Jun 28 '18 at 10:22
