I am trying to create a msi using Install Shield that includes the CRRuntime_12_5.msm. The first problem I run into is that it doesn't find the .NET C++ dependencies even if I manually add them in the with Install Shield. However, if I modify the msm file everything builds correctly but when I actually try to install the package I get a cannot register file error on install. Can anyone please help? All of the references to help articles for this problem seem to be broken.
