How to create setup projects

[DarkSorrow38]

I have completed a simple windows project and wish to deploy it. I wish to create a proper installer like those that appear in professional applications. I don't wish to use the publish option form project properties as it just creates an executable. I also tried the Setup and Deployment project in other project type but got confused and messed up.

right click on solution-add new project-Expand other project type-Select setup and deployment... try this way.

Thank You, Mark.

You waited over six hours for this. A google search with decent keywords would have yielded a similar result in less than six seconds.
