Title
BSOD When Building on Windows 10

Summary

Under certain circumstances, a BSOD could occur while building on Windows 10 with InstallShield.

Symptoms

Under certain circumstances, a BSOD could occur while building on Windows 10 with InstallShield.

Cause

This issue has been reported to occur in cases where an older version of InstallShield is installed on the Windows 10 machine and the build extracts COM information. The issue is related to a change made in Windows 10 in regards to kernel registry filtering. Please note that older versions of InstallShield does not support running on Windows 10.

Workaround

The workaround involves removing every version of InstallShield other than InstallShield 2015 on the Windows 10 machine. It may also be possible to workaround this issue by copying the ISRegFlt.sys (ISRegFlt64.sys on 64 bit machines) from the InstallShield 2015 System folder to any other InstallShield's System folder on the machine.
