title: InstallShield LE (with Visual Studio 2012) completely fails to detect dependencies
body: <p>I'm having a nightmare trying to get a simple installer working in InstallShield LE (the one shipped with VS 2012). There are all kinds of problems that I can work around (like the fact I can no longer do "Rebuild All" without it messing everything up - I need to simply unload the InstallShield project during development). But the biggie is that when I build my installer, it includes the wrong version of various DLLs (including both those that are part of my project, and 3rd-party ones like the Entity Framework DLL).</p>
  
  <p>Doing a "Clean Solution" didn't even fix the problem with the DLLs that are in my solution. It was finding a random version somewhere on my machine (in some sort compiler temp directory), and insisting on including that. I eventually fixed that by doing a search in Windows Explorer and deleting every single file it found, but I worry that next time I do a release it'll still manage to pick the wrong file. </p>
  
  <p>Plus, I need to have both the .NET 4 and .NET 4.5 versions of Entity Framework on my machine, and it's picking the wrong one to go into my installer. I can't delete the one I don't want it to include.</p>
  
  <p>What an absolutely shoddy product. I <em>could</em> "upgrade" to the full version to see if that fixes any of these problems, but my recent experience with the LE version puts me off ever using any of their products ever again.</p>
  
  <p>Has anyone else had similar problems? Did you find a solution?</p>
