Installshield internal build error

Question

Seeking wisdom as i feel as if i am banging my head against wall here, have already spent far too long on what i feel should be a straight forward task. I am using VS2012 to build c# app and trying build an .exe using installshield 2013 installed also. Each time i attempt to do so i get an ISEXP internal build error.

It is worth noting that i am restricted with my environment as i am unable to access the internet, so i have had to manually get the prerequisite's put on my machine is there a way of getting the VS to point at these now that they are stored locally and don't have to be downloaded? Could this be causing the internal error?

Many Thanks

InstallShield errors (ISEXP) are caused by a myriad of faults. I have gone through a lot myself.

Are you using InstallShield Express? If so. Then make that a double myriad of faults. :)

Some of the things you should make sure you have done:

1. Defined correctly all icons at each step (yes, it is that sensitive)
2. Defined correctly all the prerequisites (*.prq files) and make sure that they exist
3. Make sure your projects are building.
4. Make sure that the targets are correct.
