 After uninstalling InstallShield Developer, when building projects with Microsoft Visual Studio .NET, the following build error occurs:
"An error occurred while validating. HRESULT='80040155'"

Cause

This behavior is due to a bug in the uninstallation of InstallShield Developer that unregisters a critical Visual Studio .NET file.


Resolution

This issue has been resolved in Developer 7.04.


Workaround

Until this is resolved, please run the attached .REG file to correct the bug. This registry file contains the following information, if you wish to generate your own .REG file:

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Interface\{00020404-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}]
