InstalllShield 2020 R3 installer won't register Visual Studio 2019 extension
Hey there,
first of all: Happy new year and make 2021 a better year in front of all without CV19.
I've had installed IS2020 R3 (in co with old IS2018) but the extension isn't registered with Visual Studio 2019 16.8.3
TSConfig.exe /unregisterVSIP followed by TSConfig.exe /registerVSIP doesn't help.
After restarting VS2019 all Projecttemplates failed (Create New Project). On the second try to create a new Project the Templates are there but without Installshield Templates.
BTW: I installed DevExpress 20.2.4 after restarting the System without any problems. The DevExpress Templates are shown without any problems.
Best regards
Chris

Hey there,
after new year I tried to find out what happend and all of my .templateengine json Files where filled with NUL Values. Therefore reading the Templates failed.
My Solution was:
1.) close devenv.exe (Visual Studio)
2.) In Explorer go to %userprofile%\.templateengine\vs\<your installed vs version>
3.) rename you *.json Files by adding _old (example settings.json_old)
4.) restart Visual Studio
Now I can see Installshield Extension in VS and the .json Files are wellformed and readable.
Maybe this is helpful for others too.
Best whishes for 2021
Chris
