However, it does exist in VS 2010.

What edition of Visual Studio are you using? (Visual Studio Express does not have support for plug-ins such as InstallShield.)

Here’s where I see InstallShield Limited Edition in Visual Studio 2012:

I have the same problem with Installshield LE project template not appearing in VS2012.

I am using VS Professional edition. I also have VS2010 and 2008 installed, all professional edition.

I tried using the download link in VS2012 projects to install IS2012LE but like many people it seems, I just got into a loop where a blank project was created but no download or install was done. So I went onto the Installshield site and downloaded and installed the LE version. All seemed OK, but the project did not appear in the VS2012 Other Project Types. The entry in the project list to Activate IS LE had now disappeared. When I started IS LE from the Start menu it opened VS2010 and asked for an activation code (which I entered). The project is now active in VS2010 but still not present in VS2012. It is not listed in the components of VS shown in About Visual Studio 2012.

I do not use VS2010 now but need to keep it on my pc for some legacy projects.. Is there a way I can uninstall IS LE and reinstall it, forcing it to install in VS2012? If I do this will I get a problem because it is already activated?

Any assistance would be much appreciated. Thanks.

We had a couple of our developers have this problem, one had to close Visual Studio and then run the installer for InstallshieldLE again before the projects showed up for him. The other had to completely uninstall InstallShield LE and reinstall it before it started working for him.

Hi Andrew,

I request you to kindly close all the Visual Studio applications on your machine, reinstall InstallShield Limited Edition again on the system and restart Visual Studio.
InstallShield will now get integrated with Visual Studio after refresh.

Hope this helps.

Thank You,
