Custom action gives me "The System cannot find the file specified"

I'm completely new to creating deployment projects, so I probably missed something simple.  I've been trying to get a custom action to run, but I can't.  Every time I tell it to run one, I get "The System cannot find the file specified" as it reaches the end of the installation.  Initially, I thought it might have been a problem with my code, so I removed it and just left an empty Install method.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Configuration.Install;

namespace BarcodeAdmin
{
    [RunInstaller(true)]
    public partial class Installer1 : Installer
    {
        public Installer1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }
        public override void Install(System.Collections.IDictionary stateSaver)
        {
            base.Install(stateSaver);

        }
    }
}

However, I still get the same error.

In the Custom Actions, under install, I have
Primary output from BarcodeAdmin (Active)

with BarcodeAdmin being my main project.  All the properties in the custom action are left at their default values.  Once I can get this to run with an empty Install method, I can add in my code, but for now, I'm lost.  Can anyone help me out with this?
