Do you have the limited edition or premier edition associated with VS?
The generic message is from VS and the issue ranges from shortcut parameters to setting issues. This should affect certain other project types as well.
I did what you suggested but no improvement , the result is the same
I cannot add any Installation Projects to VS 2012
If the Limited Edition was installed yesterday, then the Premier Edition was installed today, then the Premier Edition is currently integrated and opening Limited Edition projects will upgrade the project to a Premier Edition project type which will then not allow the project to be opened in the Limited Edition.
(You can upgrade projects, but not downgrade them)
It may be possible that you have The premier Edition integrated, but your project was made using the Limited Editon, or vice versa and if the project has been saved since both have been installed, the project may have become unintentionally upgraded or possibly corrupted.
To specify which InstallShield version is integrated with Visual Studio follow the steps below:
1) Close all instances of InstallShield and Visual Studio
2) Open up an Administrative Command Prompt and change directories to
C:\Program Files (x86)\InstallShield\System
3) Type "TSconfig /registerVSIP"
This will register that version of InstallShield with Visual Studio.
I would then suggest attempting to create a new InstallShield project in Visual Studio, just to verify that it does work. While you may have to start your installer project over to ensure the edition that you are using is the one that you intend you should be able to continue going forward with your project.
If the above does not work, I would uninstall one of the editions then register the remaining edition.
Thank you for your answer.
I followed step by step what you mentioned in your post.
No results.
I deleted the limited edition and did repeat the steps.
No results.
On my computer 3 versions of VS are installed : 2005,2010,2015 .
Do you think this could be an issue?
1. Use RegSvr32.exe to register IsLimEdt.dll, IsLimPkg.dll, and IsLimWiz.dll which are found in the "System" sub-directory of the main InstallShield installation directory location.
2. Locate devenv.exe corresponding to the version of Visual Studio.NET you are interested in.
For example, InstallShield Limited Edition 2013 supports Visual Studio.NET 2012 and this is located in the following folder:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10\Common7\IDE
3. Run devenv.exe /setup in an administrative command prompt (DOS) window.
