InstallShield 2009 Runtime License
 
On our Build Server, we have InstallShield 2009 Runtime licences installed (without GUI, for building setups only).
Unfortunately, VisualBuild does not detect the executable ("Unable to locate InstallShield compiler executable").
The path on our PC is:
C:\Program Files\InstallShield\2009 StandaloneBuild\System\IsCmdBld.exe

You might find it via the Registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\App Paths\IsCmdBld.exe

Is there any chance this will be fixed?
For now I must use the "Override executable filename" option, but this is also bad, because it won't work on that PC which uses the GUI version, so I'm doing some If/Else stuff setting macros etc.

We will consider it. For now, the other option would be to manually setup the file association in the registry if the runtime installer isn't doing it.

Thank you, I assume that is something like the REG file below (untested). It will point to %ProgramFiles%\InstallShield\2009 StandaloneBuild\System\IsCmdBld.exe %1
I'll propose this for our continuous integration server. Thank you.
