VS2012 + 2012 Spring Express - crashing VS2012 IDE
I installed the 2012 Spring Express trial to evaluate the migration of our VS2010 setup projects to InstallShield. I'm looking for an alternative to the VS2010 setup projects that were deprecated in VS2012

 

I'm getting a number of crashes when working in the project assistant page in the VS2012 IDE.

 

I've opened up InstallShield 2012, selected create new project > C .NET Wizard, created a name and then waited for VS2012 to spin up.

 

The last two times I've seen the crash has been on the application files page of the project assistant.

 

These are the errors I'm getting in my event log

Are there any fixes to this? I'm suspecting the longer I'll use InstallShield, the more crashes I'll experience at this rate.

  • This looks like it's related to the project assistant in the VS2012 IDE, if I create a test setup and configure it using the different screens, I don't get a crash
