InstallShield MSBuild task

Hi there, I've found documentation pointing to an InstallShield task (http://kb.flexerasoftware.com/doc/Helpnet/installshield14helplib/MSBuild.htm), but for the life of me I can't find the assembly that includes that task. From searching it looks like the assembly name is "Macrovision.InstallShield.Tasks.dll" but I don't have that in my InstallShield 2010 installation directory.

Can someone tell me where I can find it?

Perhaps see if it's somewhere like C:\Program Files\MSBuild\InstallShield\2010\InstallShield.Tasks.dll?

Nope, there are no DLLs in that directory at all.

Could this be an optional part of the setup that was missed, perhaps?

Hmmm (I'm not that familiar with the InstallShield installation itself, vaguely embarrassingly)... Is Visual Studio installed on the system? Does repairing InstallShield from Add or Remove Programs make a difference?

It's definitely not part of the standard MSBuild suite of tasks, nor any of the others provided that I can find.

I'll have to track down who has the company's InstallShield disc and see if it's hiding on there.
