VS 2013 RC MSBuild fails on InstallShield project
With Visual Studio 2013 RC, MSBuild is failing on my InstallShield project task. It's works fine in the IDE.
Here's my MSBuild command:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\12.0\Bin\msbuild" BISidecar.sln /t:clean;build
Here's the error:
"C:\Users\dave\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Projects\C#\BISidecar\BISidecar.sln" (clean;build target) (1) ->
"C:\Users\dave\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Projects\C#\BISidecar\Setup\Setup.isproj" (default target) (2:2) ->
(Build target) ->C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\InstallShield\2013Limited\InstallShield.targets(100,3): error : Could not find InstallShield system folder at location "". Please provide the correct path in task parameter InstallShieldPath.
I can't figure out where I'm supposed to define (or set) the InstallShieldPath task parameter. I tried generating a MSBuild project file from the solution and added aC:\Program Files (x86)\InstallShield\2013LE line to the PropertyGroup section but that didn't change the outcome.

Hi,
This error occurs when InstallShield is unable to find some of the files/folders in the required location, So, you can try changing the location of all your missing files(manually) and building it again.
Please let us know if this helped.
Thank you,
