VS 2010 & IS 2011 - "Catastrophic failure" in project properties.
My team is migrating from using the built-in visual studio setup projects to Installshield. I created a test solution to try things out and it didn't start out well...
When adding an installshield 2011 project (happens w/all types I've tried) the property page for all other projects in the solution give an error (solution will also not build):
"Catastrophic failure (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8000FFFF (E_UNEXPECTED))"
This happens just by adding the IS project...I don't even have to set project outputs in the IS project.
See attached photo.

It has a link to a hotfix KB article that should resolve the issue that you are seeing.
Same problem, same solution.
Thanks,
