Is it possible to make a setup .exe with .NET installer?

[adonisv]

When I make an installer project I get a set of files that have to be either zipped or packaged somehow. Is it possible to use .NET to make a setup .exe only containing everything I need? :doh:

You should create a project whose type is a setup project. By doing so you can assign the files needed to get installed by using the filesystem editor(the area where you can see the application folders and the likes...). When you build the project it will create a setup.exe and its equivalent .msi file. Both are executable files :)
