Building an InstallShield 2009 project

Hi,

I have been using Visual Build Professional successfully building my project and compiling / building the InstallShield 2008 portion successfully. I upgraded to InstallShield 2009. I build the project manually using InstallShield 2009 and everything is fine. I then removed the previous version. I opened my VB Pro project and went to the step that builds / runs InstallShield. I went to the Script Editor and changed the objInst variable to point from “ISWiAuto14.ISWiProject” to “ISWiAuto15.ISWiProject”. I checked the registry and the new tag is there. Here is the error result that I get:

9/24/2008 9:38:30 PM: --------------------Starting Build: 'JobFish.bld'--------------------
9/24/2008 9:56:01 PM: Building project step 'Build the installation utility'...
Unable to locate InstallShield compiler executable
9/24/2008 9:56:02 PM: Step 'Build the installation utility' failed
9/24/2008 9:56:02 PM: Build ended.

Here is the top level starting step script:

function vbld_StepStarting()
Dim objInst, objUpgradeTableEntry

'Create the InstallShield Developer automation object
Set objInst = CreateObject("ISWiAuto15.ISWiProject") 'For InstallShield 2009
'use "ISWiAutomation.ISWiProject" for InstallShield Developer
'use "ISWiAutomation9.ISWiProject" for DevStudio 9
'use "ISWiAuto10.ISWiProject" for InstallShield X
'use "ISWiAuto1050.ISWiProject" for InstallShield 10.5
'use "ISWiAuto11.ISWiProject" for InstallShield 11
'use "ISWiAuto1150.ISWiProject" for InstallShield 11.5
'use "ISWiAuto12.ISWiProject" for InstallShield 12

'Open the project file
objInst.OpenProject Step.ExpProperty(Builder, "Filename")

'Other code comes here.
...

'Close the IS project and save the changes.
objInst.SaveProject
objInst.CloseProject
end function

What is the problem? I even tried rebooting my desktop to no avail.

I am using version 6.7a.

Thanks in advance
