Hey group,

I`ve got my VB.Net project ready to go now, but how do I make a setup file
for it?

Any links?

Many Thanks
Merlin

Click to expand...

Open the solution, then go to "File" -> "New" -> "Project..." and select
a project from "Setup and Deployment Projects". Choose the option "Add
to Existing Solution".
 
Add a new project to your solution: instead of choosing a "Visual Basic
Project" chose a "Setup and deployment project" and use there the "Setup
wizard".
You can find more info when you search for "Setup Project" in the Help of
Visual Studio.

Hope this is enough info?

Another thing I use with my setups is the dotNetInstaller: It makes sure
that the framework and other dependencies are installed. Really usefull!
You can find it on:
