ISDEV : error -7388: InstallScript build engine requires Visual Studio 2019 SDK to be installed in the build machine when using Visual Studio 2022 or higher.
Symptoms
When you are building an InstallScript project in Visual Studio 2022 or higher, the following error may occur:
ISDEV : error -7388: InstallScript build engine requires Visual Studio 2019 SDK to be installed in the build machine when using Visual Studio 2022 or higher.
Cause
This error occurs if the build machine doesn't have 32-bit Visual Studio Shell installed, which is usually installed along with Visual Studio SDK. Install the latest 32-bit Visual Studio SDK by running the Visual Studio 2019 installer. InstallScript build engine is a 32-bit app which requires 32-bit Visual Studio Shell to read the project information during the InstallScript project build.
Resolution
To resolve this issue, please run the Visual Studio 2019 Installer and install 32-bit Visual Studio SDK or install Visual Studio 2015 Shell from here.
