Has anyone used Visual Build pro with InstallShield 5.5?

What is your problem?

Our past installations have all been built using InstallShield 5.5 pro and now we are creating our new installations usign InstallShield's DevStudio. In the Visual Build documentation IS pro 7, Developer8 and Devstudio are mentioned but not IS 5.5 pro and we were just wondering if it would support IS 5.5. We are currently using the eval version of Visual Build and it appears IS 5.5 is supported and most likely our department will be getting at least three copies.

Per the help file, <snip> This action has been tested with the following product versions and may also work with other versions: </snip>.

If it is functioning as expected with IS 5.5, then it should continue to work in the future (we strive to maintain compatibility with previous versions as we update for new versions of the tools we integrate with).

Incidentally, an upcoming update to Visual Build Pro will address some recently identified issues with Install Shield Dev Studio 9 (but should NOT affect integration with older versions of Install Shield).

Unfortunately it is difficult to test Visual Build Pro with Install Shield version 5.5 (or older) as they are no longer available (for eval download)...
