InstallShield LE repeatedly crashes Visual Studio 2010
I recent tried using InstallShield LE for building a setup module for a Visual Studio 10.0 C++ application. My initial attempts worked fine but the Visual Studio IDE started crashing repeatedly when I tried to setup some upgrade paths for my application. I contacted Microsoft about the problem. They investigated and localized the problem to an access violation in the InstallShield module.

Hi Sikka,
Could you apply the new Hotfix and let us know if it fixes the crashing issue.
Hi Mashkov,
Kindly let us know when you encounter the crashing issue. We also request you to provide us the exact steps so that we can reproduce this issue at our end.
Thanks,
Lenwin

Lenwin,
The exact steps won't give you much - I don't think clicking on _any_ button on the form will cause a crash. Anyway:
- Double-click the .cs file of a Windows Form
- Double-click on the button in the form to open the Code for OnClick handle
- Crash.
Instead, I think that analyzing crash dump would be much more useful. I can upload two of them for you (or I can put them on my FTP so that you will download).

We were unable to reproduce the issue at our end.
As you had mentioned it would be helpful if you could upload the crash dump and the project files so that we can investigate further.

Regarding the project files, they are really complex and large. You won't be able to easily compile them without a lot of dependency including full set of Intel Performance Libraries.
On the dumps:
The webpage at http://community.flexerasoftware.com/newattachment.php?do=manageattach&p= might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address.
More information on this error
Below is the original error message
Error 101 (net::ERR_CONNECTION_RESET): Unknown error.

Hi Lenwin, Joshua, Just installed the hotfix by updating the IsLimPkg.dll. My problem has gone away. Before the update, opening my project would repeatedly crash the IDE. After the fix, I'm able to open the project, edit the project, and build. No more crashes. Thanks!

Hi Mashkov,
Thank you for getting back to us with the crash dump.
We are analyzing the crash dump. It would also help If you could get back to us with the sample project which replicates the crashing behavior and the exact steps to reproduce the crash. This would help us to narrow down the issue and address it as soon as possible.
Thanks,
Lenwin

Hello Lenwin
Thank you for letting me know that you've got the crash dump. Regarding the project, I will attach this, but, as I warned you, there are little chance you'll succeed to build it.
Also, when I attach the file, can you make it invisible to other visitors? It contains intellectual property.

Hi Mashkov,
We are currently working on your project.
We are trying to identify if the issue is related to the InstallShield Limited Edition (.isl) projects or with the Visual studio projects present in your project file.
We have stripped down your project file to contain only 4 projects (2 visual studio projects + 2 InstallShield Limited Edition Projects). With only 4 projects we are not encountering the crashing issue.
As the behavior is inconsistent we are still working on it to find the root cause of the issue.
As soon as I have any further information I would get back to you.
Thanks,
Lenwin.

Hi Mashkov,
Could you kindly test the stripped down project on your machine and let us know if you still encounter the crashing issue.The stripped down project works at our end. As the crashing behavior was very inconsistent we were unable to find the exact cause of the issue. If the stripped down project file works fine on your system then kindly add one project at a time, build the project and check for the crashing issue.
If you still come across the crashing behavior with the stripped down project then kindly provide us a small sample project which consists of only 3 - 4 projects which replicates the crashing behavior so that we can investigate further.
Thanks,
Lenwin

This issue happened to me too. After adding a setup project to my solution, I cannot open it again. VS crashes when I try to open.
Thank you,
