Hello,
I'm trying to create my own IME by first running the Microsoft's IME sample provided by here:
If you look at README.md, one of the steps is
In the left pane, navigate to Templates > Other Project Types > Setup and Deployment, click Enable InstallShield Limited Edition, and click OK. Follow the installation instructions.
But it seems InstallShield Limited Edition is discontinued according to this website
https://community.flexera.com/t5/InstallShield-News/Product-Announcement-InstallShield-Limited-Edition-Discontinued/ba-p/217448
How do you fix this problem?
You can install the Microsoft Visual Studio Installer Project extension.
VS2017, VS2019 - https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=visualstudioclient.MicrosoftVisualStudio2017InstallerProjects
Thanks.
I was able to make an executable file (.exe) using the extension and using this walkthrough https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/ide/walkthrough-deploying-your-program-cpp?view=msvc-160
This is my first time deploying a program, I would highly appreciate the help on installing IME.
When looking at the sample code's SampleIME.rc, it looks like the IME falls under the English Category.
#if !defined(AFX_RESOURCE_DLL) || defined(AFX_TARG_ENU)
LANGUAGE LANG_ENGLISH, SUBLANG_ENGLISH_US
#pragma code_page(1252)
But when I install it, and I don't see it as one of the keyboards for English
Refer to https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/apps/design/input/input-method-editor-requirements to see where an installed custom IME is displayed by Windows.
The resource you gave uses InstallShield from Flexera Software for installation; it's not relevant.
I think Microsoft needs to update their documentation.
You are confused. The link that I posted above has absolutely nothing to do with install shield limited.
