[Anadolu]

Hello,

I have ISLE running on VS 2013 under Windows 8.1pro x64. A deployment project I tried to run gives me an error like the following:

ISEXP : error : -6017: The build was unable to extract COM information; make sure that you are running as Administrator

I have full admin privileges and UAC is fully down.

What is wrong? How can I fix it? Thank you.

Below is the full log:

I followed the instructions given in the ISLE help file to give VS, admin privileges:

>>>On the Start Menu, right-click the Visual Studio shortcut and then click Run as administrator.

This fixed the problem.
