Setup and Deployment of C# express projects

Is this possible using only C# Express?

I recently downloaded express, having been a VS 2003 user for a few
years.

I converted a project to express to test out some of the new language
features and would like to package it for deployment as a regular MSI
install file as I have done countless times with VS.

My actual setup project in the solutions is greyed out and it says it
can not find that project template. At first I figured it was just
because there was a new machanism, but apparently there is NO mechanism
to deploy projects.

Is that true?

If it is I am very sad at the marketing hyberbole around the express
line. It specifically states as long as I use my stuff as a hobbiest,
non-profit, etc etc... which this project is (A free game editor), ...
I am confused.

Why leave this out? Should I move over to installsheild or some other
free system of deployment? Do any currently work with the express line?

Can I even try to deploy my project using VS 2003 even thoughit is
built with express (I am assuming a big fat no here).
Any help is appreciated.

Seriously no one knows anything about this topic? A simple this is
possible, this is not possible would be a lot of help in deciding if
the express line is worth continuing to use.

Unless this group just gets hammered so much that this topic completely
slipped through the cracks :)
