Installshield limited version for the project migration VS2010 to VS2017 - visual-studio-2010

I had VS2010 application along with the Installshield limited edition installer. I did migrate the project from VS2010 to vS2017, my other application got converted fine. But the install shield project was unable to connect to convert to 2017. The Visual studio enterprise is installed on my machine. Let us know if I need to apply any patches to installshield limited edition.
Thanks,

InstallShield Limited Edition is not available in Visual Studio 2017. Our group had to buy a license for InstallShield Express when we migrated our project to VS2017.

How to open InstallShield Limited Edition project in Visual Studio 2015?

I have a Visual Studio solution developed in VS 2013. The solution included a setup project bu InstalledShield Limited Edition. Visual Studio 2015 says the setup project is not compatible. I reinstalled InstallShield which didn't didn't help. I don't see anything on Flexera's site about InstallShield which works in VS 2015. Are there plans for one or does Microsoft now want us to use something else for installation projects?
While you could theoretically register the extension manually, as in our initial testing that's the minimum required to get ISLE 2013 up and running, we have now released ISLE 2015, so you should update. This release includes support for Windows 10, Visual Studio 2015, .NET 4.6 (including a fix for the 1001 error from installing .NET 4.6), and other enhancements and bug fixes since the 2013 release.

How to allow Visual Studio to upgrade the project automatically?

I have some compatibility problems with vs 2010 file opened in vs 2013, i have read that maybe i can solve it activating the option "upgrade project automaticcaly" but i can't find it. Where i can find this option in Visual Studio 2013 Express?
EDIT
I can't launch the project ,i have tried in VS2010 Express , VS2012 Express , VS2013 Express... It seems so strange, it's an official demo of kinect sdk.
EDIT
Suddenly it starts work on visual studio 2010
It's not a project upgrade issue but the sounds of that error message - VS2013 Express doesn't support the project type you are trying to open.
The following page describes the s/w requirements for use that project
Kinect or Windows SDK
Specifically the s/w dev requirements are:
Visual Studio 2010, or Visual Studio 2012. The free Express editions can be downloaded from Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Express or Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 Express.
.NET Framework 4 (installed with Visual Studio 2010), or .NET Framework 4.5 (installed with Visual Studio 2012).
There are a lot of other requirements also listed on that page.
I would suggest you download VS2012 Express (its free) and work from there.

InstallShield 2008 Pro with Visual Studio 2012

I'm having an old version of InstallShield 2008 Pro which work perfect with my Visual Studio 2008 Pro 32bit application deployment.
I'm moving towards Visual Studio 2012 with porting application to x64.
I could not find much information on InstallShield 2008 from the flexira website. With next to 0 experience in InstallShield I have a couple of questions regarding the deployment -
Is InstallShield 2008 is sufficient to cater Visual Studio 2012 with x64 upgarde.
Do I need to upgrade to InstallShield 2012 or better off looking at open/free project like WiX.
Any other comments are welcome in this regard.
For supported InstallShield integration with Visual Studio 2012, you will need InstallShield 2012 Spring or later. Integration nets you the use of project output groups; if you are willing to do without those, you can use InstallShield outside of Visual Studio, and the primary concern is which versions of Windows you need to support and how cleanly.

Windows Phone 7 SDK

I just installed VS 2010 Professional Edition, then the Service Pack 1. So now I wanted to install the 7.1 RC for WP7. The first thing it tries to do is download VS 2010 Express. Is this normal? Do I really have to install 2 versions of VS to develop for WP7?
If you already have a valid and applicable edition of Visual Studio 2010 installed, then the installer installs the SDK, Expression Blend, emulator, etc. and adds the necessary project templates into your existing edition. It will not install Visual Studio 2010 Express if you have already have an existing edition, so there are no issues around multiple installs of Visual Studio.

What if I install both Visual Studio 2008 Developer and Database Editions

Some visual studio plugin only support Developer Edition. While I only have Database Edition installed.
I bet I am able to install both. But i have no clue is that means I have two different instances of Visual Studio?
According to this question your machine will just have one instance of Visual Studio, but it will have the features of both editions (Developer and Database) you installed.
