InstallShield LE for VS2013 ingnoring Copy Local

I have just downloaded InstallShield LE for Visual Studio 2013 and created an installer for one of my projects.
However when run the msi and check the files in the installation folder I find that some dependencies are missing.

Even though I have set these dependencies to 'Copy Local = true' in my project Installshield appears to ignore this.

Any ideas?

Hello Jon,

Kindly try right click on the file components/ primary output in the "Files" view and select "Dependencies from scan at build". Please add all the dependency manually indicated by the red icon.

Hope this helps.

Please let us know if you need any further information on this.

Thanks,
Chaitra

Are you building through Visual Studio, at the command line or through TFS build services?

There is a known issue with MSBuild command line and TFS Build services that don't always pick up additional dependencies.

I started a post here several months back that got some initial attention, but has not had any new information provided in quite some time.

this sounds like it might be a related issue.
