error -6103 could not find file on Primary Output
I am new to Install Shield Spring, so please excuse my ignorance...

 

I am converting an old Visual Studio Installer project (vdproj) to InstallShield, and set up everything, and then tried to create my installer. I get this error:

 

error : -6103: Could not find file "C:\2012\bridges\manualextract\obj\Win32\Release\ManualExtract.exe"

 

In my application file section I added project outputs, from my ManualExtract project (in same solution), so I have "ManualExtract.Primary Output" listed.

 

There are 2 issues with the path Install Shield is trying to use:

 

1. manualextract\obj\Win32\Release\ doesn't exist.

 

my project uses: $(SolutionDir)$(Configuration) which becomes

 

"C:\2012\bridges\manualextract\release\"

 

2. The file name is incorrect, my output is defined as: $(Configuration)\ManualExtractBridge.exe

 

 

-----------------

 

Any ideas why Install Shield can't figure this out automatically, and or how to fix it?

 

Install Shield can't seem to handle Macros in paths either (if I manually modify the .isl file)

 

Any help greatly appreciated.
