Re: Visual Studio integration

Hello,

We apologize for this inconvenient.
Indeed, this seems to be a problem with the Visual Studio extension from the latest version of Advanced Installer (11.4). This is currently under investigation and as soon as I have a conclusive answer, I'll get back to you.

Thank you for bringing it to our attention.

In the meanwhile, you can uninstall the 11.4 version of Advanced Installer and install the 11.3 version. You can download an older version of Advanced Installer from your Advanced Installer – Customer Information page.

Best regards,
Dan

I had the same problem with AI 11.4 and VS 2012. The prerelease build fixed the problem for me. :D
