InstallShield Limited Edition Error ISEXP : error : -5002: Product Configuration 'Express' is not found in the specified project.

Question

i have developed a application on VisualStudio 2012 and tried InstallShield Limited Edition to build and package the installer. but when i try to build my application i got an error regarding to the InstallShield the error.

ISEXP : error : -5002: Product Configuration 'Express' is not found in the specified project. Verify that the Product Configuration name is correct.

Answer 1

I had the same problem when I changed from compiling with the "Debug" configuration to compiling with the "Release" configuration. I opened the underlying project setup file (MySetupProject.isproj) and altered the line

<Configuration>Debug</Configuration>

to read

<Configuration>Release</Configuration>

and the problem resolved. There may be a way to do the same within the InstallShield UI, but I haven't found it as yet.

Hope this helps.
