I cannot start a Debug session on the machine where InstallShield has been installed

So i've got InstallShield 2024 R1 installed on my machine and created a InstallScript MSI  project. I've authored an install with a few InstallScript routines, specifically the UI routines calling a few custom dialogs and in OnFirstUIBefore, and calling a few of our product's executables in the OnFirstUIAfter event.


95% of the install works, except for the code that I do in  OnFirstUIAfter .  To solve this I want to debug this but I've run into the following issues:

1 - I cannot set Breakpoints in the installscript. Not by clicking near the margin, nor by using F9.

2 - Clicking the  Debug   button on the ribbon starts the install, but doesn't enter a debug session as far as I can see.

3 - Running an MSI Debug session via  Build > MSI Debugging > Start MSI Debugging  doesn't do anything either.


Am I missing something really obvious here?

On which OS do you have installed InstallShield 2024 R1 ? Windows 11 ?
