Making an Installation Wizard to my Project
-
Hello again, I want to make an installation wizard to my project, I mean that if I run this installation file I'll see a nice installation wizard that will install my project on other computers. How can I do that?

If you're using Visual Studio simply create a Setup project.

In the menu "File>New>Project.." so the "New Project" wizard appears. On the left side there should be a project type called "Other project types" with nested project type "Setup and deployment". Choose this one and you should be able to create a setup project. Note: As I have a VS in german language the given names may not be 100% correct, but they should at least be similar to the actual ones.

No you do not need to write the project again. Create the setup project in the same solution as the project you want to deploy. Easiest way would be clicking on the solution item in the project explorer and in the opening context menu choose "Add>New Project..". The rest of the procedure is the same as described in my previous post. Also take a look at this link on MSDN to learn more about deploying your application with the help of VS: Deploying Applications[^]
