Can we downgrade InstallShield project?

I'm having a InstallShield 2013 project. Can I open this project in InstallShield 2011 ?
Can we open InstallShield Projects of higher version in the lower version of InstallShield ?
Please see: Converting InstallShield Projects From One Version to Another
It would seem we used to be able to but lost the ability with IS2010.
You can't do directly now.
But, if it is XML format, change the value of SchemaVersion using notepad, let's say 783 is for 2020 R2 and for 2016 it is 777.
If it is binary format then change the extension to msi and open with orca and change the value and rename the extension back to ism

How to change working directory in Visual Studio

How can I change the working director of Visual Studio C++ 2012. The default working directory is $(ProjectDir), every file I create in my codes are created in the project directory. What I want is that every file is created in the source code's directory, is that possible?
There is no convenient way to do it, but there are some workarounds.
One solution is to move project file to source directory.
Another solution is to add whole source directory to project (just drag'n'drop directory from windows explorer to project in solution explorer). Now, you can add items by right-clicking at source directory in solution explorer. They'll go to physical source folder. This surely works on Visual Studio 2013 RC, but I'm not quite sure about Visual Studio 2012.
One more solution, is to create Project Wizard or even Plugin. It's along story. Maybe, someone already done this, but I was unable to find.

Error opening SQL File from TFS 2012

When I try to view a .sql file from Source Control Explorer in Visual Studio 2012 (TFS 2012) I get the following error message:
TF10187: Could not open document
FilePath\FileName
User canceled out of save dialog
It's only happening for SQL files. The file does exist in the TFSTemp folder and I can double click and open it from there. What do I need to change to fix this error message?
Install SQL Server Data Tools - September 2013 update things will be fine. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/jj650015
For us, this seems to be linked to a .NET Framework 4.6 upgrade and is not limited to SQL files. Users have issues opening files from Source Control Explorer and Solution Explorer.
Delete the contents from the following folders:
C:\Users\<>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Team Foundation
C:\Users\<>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio
C:\Users\<>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VSCommon
The first step fixed it in my case, but you can try this if it doesn't: Navigate to the Visual Studio IDE folder in command prompt or windows explorer and Run the following command "devenv /resetuserdata". Ie: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Common7\IDE. To minimize the potential loss of the user’s personal environment, you should consider creating a backup using the Export Settings wizard, and the Import Settings wizard to restore the settings if and when needed.
Note: The side effects of running the /resetuserdata option is that any customizations will have to be reconfigured (ie: TFS server and proxy settings) as well as many, if not all, Visual Studio extensions have to be re-installed.

Looks like you need to uninstall Redgate and then re-install the data tools. This is probably because an add-in was trying to grab the .SQL files and do something with them that VS wasn't expecting.
