Unable to locate InstallShield compiler executable
 

Hi all.

I have problem to build Installshield Pro via Visual Build.
I get such an error message:

Building project step 'InstallShield DSdemo'...
Unable to locate InstallShield compiler executable
Step 'InstallShield DSdemo' failed
Build ended.

The problem Visual build project attached.

Thanks in advance.

First, which version of InstallShield Pro are you using? Versions prior to 7.0 are not supported by this action:

Note: InstallShield Professional versions prior to 7.0 are not supported by this action (InstallShield Pro uses a two-step build process [Compile.exe, then IsBuild.exe] but the executables are stored in different locations in version 6.x). For earlier versions, generate the batch file within InstallShield (from the Build menu) and run it from a Run Program action with a command of %DOSCMD% \Build.bat.

If you're using 7.0+, the action attempts to auto-locate the exeuctable by finding the path of the executable associated with the extension of the filename entered. It appears that this is failing. You might try re-installing InstallShield to ensure that it has the file extension registered properly. Otherwise, you will need to locate IsBuild.exe on your system and provide the full path+filename for it on the Options tab.
