No "InstallShield" menu after InstallShield for Visual Studio installation

[philthegaps]

Hi there,

I've successfully installed InstallShield LE for Visual Studio, however, when restarting my VS 2012 Express Edition, I can't see the InstallShield menu, nor the template project. I've got a french version of VS 2012.
Any hint ?

Thanks
Philippe

Hello,

This looks to be an integration issue. Please close Visual Studio when you install ISLE and then check if the integration happens. If you have already installed ISLE, you could close both the applications, run a repair of ISLE from the control panel.

After successful integration, you will be able to find the ISLE setup and deployment projects under New project>other project types>Setup and deployment

Then you will need to activate the product by using the serial key , if you got one already, during registration to download ISLE for visual studio.

Thanks,

Hi Chiranjeevi,

I've repaired the ISLE with no Visual Studio running. Nothing has changed.

Hello,

Can you try to download fresh copy of the installshield limited edition setup and remove the old Installshield Limited edition for visual studio completely from the machine, clear all the temporary files related to that installation ?

Then reinstall with fresh copy and check if it is properly integrated with visual studio.

Thanks,

I have the same problem as the initial logger.
I am Running MS Visual Studio Express 2012. HAve downloadeed and installed the latest ISLE program and after the install is complete do not see anything (,menu, tool, etc) that provides a means to add an installshield instance to my solution.
My OS is WIN7 Enterprise.

Has a solution been found ?
Am I just looking in the wrong place to add an installshield install project to my solution?
