For those of you looking for an improved deployment experience in Visual Studio we are continuing our partnership with Flexera to provide InstallShield Limited Edition (ISLE) as our in-box solution. ISLE is a great solution for those customers looking for added capabilities not found in Visual Studio Installer Projects, such as TFS and MSBuild integration, support for creating new web sites and ISO 19770-2 Tagging support, etc.
Please note that this release is a Preview version so please try this out with your existing Visual Studio Installer projects and provide general feedback via UserVoice and bugs via the Q&A section here. We will be releasing a fully supported RTM version of this extension after we have addressed your Preview version feedback.
