I have a virtual machine acting as build server for our software. On it I have both Installshield 2008 Pro and InstallShield 2013 LE Beta installed. Upone testing one of the builds we do it turns out that there is something hogging down the machine. And this is without having gotten to the build step that actually involves InstallShield building the install packages. So I look into Process Explorer and find that up to 50% of the CPU time goes to processes associated with FLEXnet and InstallShield update services. How do I stop these from running? I've even tried to kill off these processes by hand, but they are self-reproducing each other.. The FLEXnet Connect Agent alone is constantly at 10 to 40% CPU. Best Regards, Johan Ekdahl ...

Background: We migrated from Visual Studio 2008 to 2012 for our web apps. We of-course lost the WebSetup projects, and went for IS LE 2012. We had problems with that (details upon request) so I upgraded to 2013 beta which seems to work better. I am now trying to get our build server (running TeamCity) to build our ISLE 2013 projects. As a first step I am trying to get the ISLE 2013 projects to build on my own developer machine on a command line using MSBUILD. It fails miserably with different strange results depending on if I pass MSBUILD the .isl or the .isproj file . First and most basic question: Can MSBUILD at all handle projects created with ISLE? A "no" here with some pertinent backgroud and I will move on. A "yes" to that question, and I will follow up with the details of my errors for different attempts. If the subject has been covered here my search-fu was obviously miserable. I found nothing that matched my poblem. Any link to threads dealing with this will be quite appreciated.
