I’ve created a custom project template, and now I need to deploy it together with my product (i.e., it should be installed by the same msi I use for the main installation). I’m using a Visual Studio Installer project. One option is to use a custom action and manually copy a template file included in the installation. Another is to create a vsi file and use a custom action to install it after the main installation (how do I have it installed silently?) . Which one is better?
Thanks a lot

In case you are using VS 2005 or 2008
Just unfold the template files in the proper location for example:
[VSInstallDir]\Common7\IDE\ProjectTemplatesz
In case you are using VS 2010
use .vsix The vsix file is the unit of deployment for a Visual Studio 2010 Extension. Visual Studio will recognize the VSIX extension and install the contents of the file to the right location.
Let me know if you have any questions
