Installer Project in Microsoft Visual C# 2005 Express Edition???

[Andrew Meador - ASCPA, MCSE, MCP+I, Network+, A+]

I am wanting to create an installer project in Microsoft Visual C#
2005 Express Edition, but I can't see how to do it. I see in online
help that you should go to File...Add...New Project... and choose
Setup/Installer Project. But, this is not an option in my Project
Types list. Is this some limitation of the Express Edition, you can't
create installer packages? Is there something I need to configure or
install, to get this option? Please let me know.

Thanks!

I believe that you can only use the "One-click" installer method in
all the Express languages. I don't think they allow you to create
installers.

Hello Andrew Meador - ASCPA, MCSE, MCP+I, Network+, A+,

Alternative way described here is using WIX or NSIS installer, where you
are free to custom actions.
BTW, they can be build via nant/msbuild
