Hi,
I observe that you are trying to create just an InstallShield Limited Edition setup project and not integrating your Visual Studio project with ISLE. However, that should also work fine without any errors. I followed the same steps you have mentioned, with Project Assistant and was successfully able to build the project and create shortcuts.
I kindly request you to check with the following and make few changes accordingly:
1> Build Error 6221:
Kindly take sometime to check out more information about this error on:
http://flexerasoftware.force.com/articles/en_US/ERRDOC/Q107689
2> Error 3204:
If there is a shortcut to the .exe file that you have added, which has NO icon specified, it might throw this error.
Please navigate to Configure the Target System-> Shortcuts/Folders->Click on the shortcut that you have created and check if there exists an icon for that file in the option "Icon" under "Appearance" section on the right hand side pane.
Kindly modify your setup project and verify with the above mentioned points to resolve the errors.
Please let us know if you still have any issues building the project.
Thanks,
Chaitra
