Excuse the cross-posting, please but no response in "Setup".
When I was using VS 2003, there was a setup project template available. In
2008 Standard, no such template. According to Wikipedia which sources
Microsoft, Standard edition does not have setup projects, only "one-touch"
(not that I can find that either). First question is whether I can do a
setup project with VS '08 standard then where do I get a tutorial on
"one-touch"? Any help is much appreciated.

Per this link,

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/vs2008/products/cc149003.aspx#divBasicTools

standard should include setup templates. I haven't heard the term
one-touch, but rather ClickOnce. Search for that term for a walkthrough. I
understand it is easy, but has not fit our requirements.
 
You want to look at ClickOnce. There was a previous technology, which was
not as full featured, in Visual Studio 2003. The previous technology was
called "No touch", not "One touch", although your naming fits the workings
of the technology better.

Examine ClickOnce with Visual Studio 2008 and you should find it fits your
needs.
