Add-On Deployment Error 'System.NotSupportedException'

Question

Created setup files to install the Add-ons.
I used the Professional Installer method using .Net2.0.
I could successfully create the installer and created the ard file.
Registered successfully in SAP B1.
During the installation i am getting the following error
"An unhandled exception('System.NotSupportedException') occured in
B1AddOnInstallerSetupNet1.exe[2800].
immediately Visual studio Just-In-time Debugger appears

Thanks for your feedback.
I will navigate you step by step.
1) When I tried to create new VB B1 AddOnInstallerSetup.Net project using .net 2.0, The creation was unsuccessful; it is unable to create an empty Setup project.
Don’t know why? The error I am getting is <a href="http://www.oaksystems.com.sg/sap/Error2.bmp">(pls click here to view)</a>
But it successfully created <installer Name> and CustomerLibrary project,
Leaving the Setup project. Like this

So I manually created the “Setup and Deployment project” and added to the solution.

Then followed the “TODO.txt” file instruction. Created the setup
<Installer Name>.exe. Then created the .ard file using “AddOnRegDataGen.exe”.
Registered in SAP and finally getting the 'System.NotSupportedException' during installation.
This is how I am doing.
2)As suggested by you I debug the installer, this is the error I am getting
System.NotSupportedException was unhandled
  Message="The given path's format is not supported."
  Source="mscorlib"

3) Currently I am using “Simple Installer” method for Add-on deployment and manually copying all the necessary files like images and the screens designed using Screen painter. I would like to use the “Professional Installer” to avoid the manual copy files.
Can you advice to overcome this?
