Trying to build a project that was converted from InstallShield 2008 causes crash...
Hi!
I am trying to convert a project that was made with InstallShield 2008 to InstallShield 2011 and each time I build it it makes InstallShield crash...
The InstallShield project was using the VB6 objects (I don't remember the exact name they are called in InstallShield) and since this is no longer supported I remove them and want to replace that by a launch of the Microsoft VB6 runtime install program.
Unfortunately it looks like something in that project still doesn't please InstallShield and I get
The event view contains (among other things) this about the crash:
The last few lines I get in the "console" before it crash are
Can anybody suggest anything I could try to fix this?
Thank you!
Nick

Nobody has an idea?
Is there a way to perform some sort of consistency check on the project to identify the problem?
We have contacted Flexera because we're unable to reinstall InstallShield 2008 to temporarily address this issue (my guess it that most likely the servers/service which are/were used to validate 2008 licences are no longer up) and we haven't heard back from their support guys...
Thank you,

I created a new "release" and this seems to have fixed it...
I get something didn't get properly initialized by the conversion process...
I now have another problem for which I opened a new thread...

Hi Marbled,
thanks for posting your solution. I had the same problem when updating an existing setup solution to IS2012. After creating a new release it worked just fine!!!
Reading your post I'm once againg reminded to the bad support of Installshield, Flexera and Acresso 😞
Regards
Ralf
