I’m a web-guy stuck in ‘application world’ in VS 2005. I created my windows forms program and want to give my end users the ability to install it (and some of it’s resources) into a standard Program Files/App Directory location along with a start menu/desktop launcher.
The help files don’t give any instructions (that I can find). This seems like such a trivial task to create an installer – but it’s eluding me.
Any hints would be greatly appreciated!
You’re looking for a ‘Setup Project’ which should be under the ‘Other Project Types’ -> ‘Setup and Deployment’ category in the ‘New Project’ dialog.
