title: How to migrate Visual Studio setup project to InstallShield Limited Edition?
body: <p>I have Visual Studio setup projects (MSI / vdproj) in solutions I am attempting to migrate to Visual Studio 2012 where support for these projects has been <a href="http://blogs.msdn.com/b/buckh/archive/2011/03/17/visual-studio-setup-projects-vdproj-will-not-ship-with-future-versions-of-vs.aspx" rel="noreferrer">pushed off</a> to <a href="http://www.mail-archive.com/ozdotnet@ozdotnet.com/msg07507.html" rel="noreferrer">third parties</a> with the suggested replacements being WiX or the in-app-linked InstallShield Limited Edition (ISLE).</p>
  
  <p>Some refer to the <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh266747%28v=VS.110%29.aspx" rel="noreferrer">Visual Studio 2012 Compatibility</a> document or the seemingly less helpful <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/2kt85ked%28VS.110%29.aspx" rel="noreferrer">Windows Installer Deployment</a> document as the place to go to find out more. The former says of "MSI setup (.vdproj)" projects:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>You can also use ISLE to import data and settings from Visual Studio
    Installer projects.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>How does one do this?</p>
