Creating a setup process for your program

[michaeldebruin]

hello,

Is here someone who can tell me how I can make a setup. A setup like everybody knows, step for step saying in which folder the program must be installed etc. Is it possible to create it with a special wizard in microsoft visual studio or is it really creating it all by my own?

Thanks in Advance

InstallShield does something like what you're after. Not used the VS one so can't comment

You can go a couple of routes.
There is the ClickOnce publishing (part of visual studio)
There is a setup & deployment project type (visual studio)
Or there are other 3rd party choices such as InstallShield or etc

You can easily create .msi setup in visual studio. Select "setup and deployment" in project type.

I'd recommend this one too as it's very easy to use. I'd never really used it through VS before until recently and it worked out really well. It has the added bonus of keeping the clients up to date when you publish a new version. Right click your solution, click properties, and check out the publish tab.
