Runtime Error! / isdev.exe / abnormal program termination

[Jackal]

Hello, I am completely new to the Admin Studio Suite and have recently been tearing into MSIs with InstallShield 2012 Spring SP1.

Whenever I click on MSI Debugger, I get the error above in the title. Any suggestions? This is on a Win 7 SP1 x64 box. Thanks!!!

I also see this issue using the MSI output by my project. However, other MSI's do not cause isdev.exe to crash. I am also using Win7(x64), InstallShield Spring 2012 (SP1).
I have already done a repair, uninstall/reinstall, as well as made several tweaks to the project. Nothing worked.

I also tried following the instructions in: "Q211606: HOWTO: Troubleshoot an InstallShield IDE Crash", but no log file was produced.

This is unfortunate because one of the factors we used to select InstallShield was the MSI Debugger feature, which does not appear to work in this case.
Perhaps I could factor out Win7 (x64) by building a VM and transferring our InstallShield license there...
