When converting your projects to VS2010 you get the question to migrate them to .net4. But even if you do not do that VS set the ASP.NET version to 4 for setup projects.

And then when you try to install your application on a machine that does not have .NET 4 installed you will get the error message:

“Could not open key: Software\Microsoft\ASP.NET\4.0.30128.0. Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnel”

What you need to do is to change the ASP.NET version back to 2.0 if that is what you want to use.
You do that in the properties of the setup project.
