Error extracting ISBEW64.exe from ISRegSvr.dll
I have Visual Studio 2015 and used the Setup and Deployment project from the Other Project Types. That led me to download InstallShield Limited Edition Project. So I have a setup created for a simple COM object and it is failing. I found this error in the log file:
Error extracting ISBEW64.exe from ISRegSvr.dll
Later I get an error that ISBEW64 cannot be found. So does anyone know what's going on?

I seem to have fixed this issue. Since I have the Visual Studio extension I don't have direct access in the IDE to the property. So I used Atom and opend the .isl file and changed Intel;1033 to x64;1033
Now when I build I don't get the error in the log. The log now indicates the exe was extracted and later the log says it was found. I still have an issue where I see this:

I don't know why that "(32-bit)" entry is there. The server was pushed to the system's 64 bit program folder (before my edit it was going to the x86 folder). I see other references to "Intel" in the isl so I'm going to start changing them and see what happens. Also, even though I have Visual Studio installed I need to add the 2015 MFC/CRT redistributables. I can register my server manually so I don't see why setup would fail to register on my box. Well, except that it doesn't appear to be using regsvr32 and instead is using ISBEW64.exe.

I noticed an output message during the build saying ISX_DEFAULTCOMPONENT1 was set to deploy to the 64 bit program folder but it was marked as a 32 bit component. I guess being the Express edition means I cannot change it via the IDE as I could not find it. But I found I could open the ISL file and modify it directly by changing the value that followed INSTALLDIR from a "2" to a "256". That worked. See the code below. I found I also had to change it for the entry added for my DLL (also in the code below).
ISX_DEFAULTCOMPONENT1 | {D5D9AB6D-A5C1-4FDE-A98B-B6D76D0B422E} | INSTALLDIR | 256 | 17 | /LogFile= | /LogFile= | /LogFile= | /LogFile= | |||||
SEMRUCmds.dll | {5121F5C2-2038-4375-9FF0-D488EC60B257} | INSTALLDIR | 256 | semrucmds.dll | 17 | /LogFile= | /LogFile= | /LogFile= | /LogFile= |
