I think I know what is happening. I guess you are trying to add files
which reside in the "Debug" directory, which was automatically created
by Visual Studio. Each time you build your setup project Visual Studio
deletes the "Debug" and "Release" directories and creates new ones. So
the "Debug" directory that's part of your working copy is getting
deleted and a new one is put in its place. But those newly created
directories aren't working copies anymore (they don't have the ".svn"
folder that's required for SVN to work properly).

I personally never add the Debug/Release directories to my working
copies. I always create "svn:ignore" properties for them. I only want to
version the source files. When I have a build of an installer that's
ready for release I create a tag and I manually add the contents of the
"Release" directory to the tag.
