Create DIM Project fails with VS2008 + vista

I'm unable to create an InstallShield Collaboration Project with VS2008 (VSTS) on a Vista PC - ie. File | New | Project reports an error and doesn't create any files.

I'm using InstallShield Premier v15 with SP1

We're evaluating Collaboration now considering a purchase of five licenses, all team member use VSTS 2008 and all are having the same problem. We tried it on Vista x64 and x32 with the same outcome.

We can create a Collaboration project using VSTS 2008 under Windows XP, and on Vista x32 + VSTS 2005, but even after haivng created a project, if we try to open it using VSTS 2008 and Vista, the IDE hangs. Events log the following error:

Faulting application devenv.exe, version 9.0.30729.1, time stamp 0x488f2b50, faulting module unknown, version 0.0.0.0, time stamp 0x00000000, exception code 0xc0000005, fault offset 0x001fbc74, process id 0x1310, application start time 0x01c9778dcf8b1c9a.

I'm not sure where the hotfix would be located on Flexera's website, but the hotfix was emailed to me from the support representative I worked with on this issue. I've uploaded the file here. I hope this is helpful to you.

Hi jaredfx,

I was experiencing the same problem with:

InstallShield 2010 + VS 2008 + Vista (32 bit)

I overwrote the DIMLoader.dll you mentioned and succeeded in adding a collaboration project. But I am not sure if this is correct. Because your are using InstallShield 2009 and I am using InstallShield 2010.

How can I communicate with the support team to discuss this problem?

-Best regards.
