I have a Visual Studio solution developed in VS 2013. The solution included a setup project bu InstalledShield Limited Edition. Visual Studio 2015 says the setup project is not compatible. I reinstalled InstallShield which didn't didn't help. I don't see anything on Flexera's site about InstallShield which works in VS 2015. Are there plans for one or does Microsoft now want us to use something else for installation projects?

While you could theoretically register the extension manually, as in our initial testing that's the minimum required to get ISLE 2013 up and running, we have now released ISLE 2015, so you should update. This release includes support for Windows 10, Visual Studio 2015, .NET 4.6 (including a fix for the 1001 error from installing .NET 4.6), and other enhancements and bug fixes since the 2013 release.
