How to install InstallShield 2010 SP1 (full edition) with Visual Studio 2012

I am not able to see any project template for InstallShield 2010 in Visual Studio 2012.

How to integrate InstallShield 2010 with Visual Studio 2012 after installing it?

I also tried this approach http://flexerasoftware.force.com/articles/en_US/HOWTO/Manually-Enable-Integration-with-All-Versions-of-Visual-Studio-NET. But no result.

Updated 22-Jan-2015 Today I found that installshield 2010 supports visual studio 2010. installshield 2010 supports VS 2010 installshield 2010 supports VS 2010-2

InstallShield 2010 was released far before Visual Studio 2012 ever saw the light of day, as such there was no way to integrate it when it shipped. As far as I can tell no Service pack to InstallShield 2010 ever brought this functionality.

The InstallShield 2012 edition is the first edition that integrates into Visual Studio 2012.

The full compatibility matrix is listed on the FAQ you quoted:

Only certain versions of Microsoft Visual Studio .NET are supported with specific versions of InstallShield products. For example:

  • Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2012 is supported by InstallShield 2012 Spring and later.
  • Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2010 is supported by InstallShield 2011 and later.
  • Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2008 is supported by InstallShield 2009 and later.
  • Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2005 is supported by InstallShield 11.5 and later.
  • Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003 is supported by InstallShield X and later.
  • Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2002 is supported by InstallShield Developer.
