Crashing VS2010
I have VS2010 SP1 and the "InstallShield 2011 Limited Edition". I created a default winforms project and tried adding it's primary output to the setup project. Subsequent attempts to build the setup project cause VS2010 to crash.

 

After spending some time debugging, I see this:

 

Unhandled exception at 0x00200073 in devenv.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation.

 

Is anyone else having problems with InstallShield making VS2010 unstable?

 

What do I need to do to troubleshoot?

 

Thanks

  • I have SP 1. It seems like this stuff crashes quite reliably. It seems like the default error handling mechanism. Is there an output log that I can look at to get the related details for these crashes?
  • Somehow reordering the project lists seems to fix my crashing. Move the primary output project to the top of the sln:

     

    Project("{FAE04EC0-301F-11D3-BF4B-00C04F79EFBC}") ...

     

    EndProject

     

    Now I get another error instead

     

    "ISEXP : error : -6213: Internal build error"

     

    I'll be amazed if I ever get this stuff working.

  • Hello Dbeavon,

     

    Build time Error 6213 is related to .NET Dependency Scanning. Could you kindly navigate to InstallShield LE Menu –> Options –> .NET ta and change the value of Define .NET Scan At Build Time Setting –> None.

     

    Thanks,
