We have a VS MSI setup defined in VS 2010. Because we want to switch to VS2012 we imported the setup vdproj file in the InstallShield that can be downloaded as InstallShield2012SPRLimitedEdition.exe. When compiling the Installshield project VS 2012 crashes and restarts. This keeps on happening so we can not make a working setup in VS 2012. When trying to fix the installshield problem VS2012 crashes multiple times. When I press ctrl C during build I can terminate the setup build before the crash occurs. Then we have a -6213 Internal build error and multiple messages in the form of Warning 1 -6248: Could not find dependent file Telerik.Windows.Controls.Charting.dll, or one of its dependencies of component C__1694758B7142456F9D27C1E8EAE43AA3 ISEXP : warning : -6248: Could not find dependent file Telerik.Windows.Controls.Charting.dll, or one of its dependencies of component C__1694758B7142456F9D27C1E8EAE43AA3. Because our project is compiling and running fine it's installshield that does not do a proper scan of dependencies. This scan is disabled in the Light version. Manually correcting the problem is very hard because I do not have a clue what is component C__1694758B7142456F9D27C1E8EAE43AA3, why not give a human readable name instead of this code? I found a solution for the C__1694758B7142456F9D27C1E8EAE43AA3 filenames, open the .isl file in an editir, look for the code and you will find the sourcefilename of te target involved. Using this method I could resolve the -6248 warnings. The crashes continue however.
