What a nice trick Microsoft pulled. They removed support for Windows Installer from VS and included a "free" (read POS) version of InstallShield for which neither Microsoft nor Flexera provides support. I have to tip my hat to the marketing gurus at MS....they made their product look nice by including a installation option that is basically useless.
I guess this is not much of a question as I've posted InstallShield questions both here and on Flexera boards with no replies.
Good show MS! You really make me want to buy more MS products!
