If you have Deployment Projects in Visual Studio 2008 (maybe 2005 as well), and your app to deploy uses Make Assembly COM-Visible, RegCap.exe will crash when building the deployment project on Windows 7 (maybe on Vista as well).
The work-around appears to be running Visual Studio in XP Compatibility mode.

The previous link does not appear to exist anymore, but there is a Stack Overflow article that tells equivalent information:

Good tip! I was running vs2005 and it would choke like you said. I didn't try compatibility mode; but I did turn off the COM visibility :)
thank you
