Hello Paul, The Dlls and folders that get added in the InstallShield -> 2013 LE folder are included as soon as the ISLE installation process is done on the system. And all the required DLLs are included by default. If you wish to remove any files, you can do so by manually deleting them or store them in a different location and add it to this folder for a later use. Hope this helps. Thanks, Chaitra ...

Hello Fernando, To change the file name on a destination computer is not possible, as there is no Direct Editor. However, a VB script can be written and a Custom Action can be created to allow the change in file name during installation on a destination computer. Thanks, Chaitra ... View more

Hi Sylwia, Do you want to create a new custom Merge Module? Or are you looking out to create a Merge Module Project in InstallShield? InstallShield Limited Edition does not have the Prerequisite Editor. There are many Merge Modules and Prerequisites, already available within ISLE in the Redistributables View. If your question is related to the Merge Module Project type, then ISLE do not consist of any different project types. This feature can be availed in Premier and Professional Versions of InstallShield. Please let me know if you need any further information on this. Thanks, Chaitra ... View more

Hi, Could you please tell me if you have used any Custom Actions in your project? Please create a new project ( without creating any custom actions or changing any settings ) and check if you observe the same behaviour with Dialogs. It works fine when both Ready to Install and Setup Progress Dialog is checked, on my machine. Please let me know your feedback so that I can assist you further on this. Thanks, Chaitra ... View more

Hi Felipe, When you right click on your Visual Studio solution-> add new project -> do you see "Setup and Deployment" under the Other Project Types? If you see that option, select it and if ISLE is installed on your machine, you can directly create a setup project by clicking OK. If you do not see this template ( Setup and Deployment ), kindly download InstallShield Limited Edition for Visual Studio from the below link: http://learn.flexerasoftware.com/content/IS-EVAL-InstallShield-Limited-Edition-Visual-Studio Register-> download the product and activate it by entering the serial number which you receive through mail/ post registration. Do you see ISLE in Control Panel? If it is already installed on your machine, you might probably want to re-install or run a Repair process of both ISLE and Visual Studio applications and then try again. Hope this helps. Please let me know if I can be of any further help to you. Thanks, Chaitra ... View more

Hi Joseph, The Warning 6245 occurs when at least one component in your project contains .NET properties, but the .NET Framework has not been installed. For more information on this, please refer the below article: https://flexeracommunity.force.com/customer/articles/en_US/ERRDOC/Q107665 Error 6109 might occur for various reasons. Please take sometime to have a look at the below link for more information: https://flexeracommunity.force.com/customer/articles/en_US/ERRDOC/Q109435 Thank you for your detailed explanation along with the screen shots. And you are in the right direction about including the project dependencies and ensuring the .NET framework being installed on the machine. However, may I know the current update about your project? What are the things you observe, after re-building your project once you have made changes and added dependencies. Please let me know your feedback so that I can take this forward. Thanks, Chaitra ... View more

Hello Erik, For the warning 6245, please refer the below link: https://flexeracommunity.force.com/customer/articles/en_US/ERRDOC/Q107665 This warning is known to occur when at least one component in your project contains .NET properties, but the .NET Framework has not been installed. If you are installing an application that contains .NET assemblies, the .NET Framework should be bundled with your setup unless the setup is only targeting machines that are known to have the .NET Framework already installed. Yes, your understanding is right about the .NET properties being installed on the target PC. But, it has to be included in the setup project release. Error 6109 Internal Build Error might occur due to various reasons. As a workaround: Changing project setting such as setting .net scan at build to none or specifying that files in the project should not be built can help you work around the issue without having to make huge changes in your InstallShield project. Hope this helps. Thanks, Chaitra ... View more
