creating MSI (installation) file for .net app

[douglass_davis]

Say I want to distribute an application with DLLs and everything.
What's the best way to create an MSI file, or some other type of
installer file? Thanks.

Hello, (e-mail address removed)!

You can start with Setup project In Visual Studio.

If you have complex application then you can use WiX toolset
( http://wix.sourceforge.net )

Thanks.

Another question about ClickOnce installation if some one could help
please.

Let's say I choose the ClickOnce publishing method instead of the
windows installer one, and I publish it to the web. What I get is a
file with the extention of .application. My browser doesn't recognize
that extention.

I configured the MIME type (application/x-ms-application) for the
..application extension already. In IE, the mime type shows up as
Application Manifest. Do I have to have IIS or is this supposed to
work with Apache?
