InstallShield DevStudio 9

[jpaxton]

With the new interface for InstallShield DevStudio 9, VBP 5.1 assumes that you are using a script-based install. Therefore, if you are using an MSI install, it will not run because it trys to locate and call the setup.rul file.

A workaround is to select the Developer option and explicitly set the compiler path in the DevStudio 9 folder.

I saw your previous post on this from 2003 regarding a previous version of InstallShield. Below is the error message I am now receiving and I need to find out how to set the compiler option so that this doesn't happen. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

If you're using 5.2+, you should be able to choose the DevStudio/X/10.5 compiler in the InstallShield action and build without setting the compiler executable or any special flags (the action was fixed to support to support both InstallScript and MSI projects).
