I also have Visual Basic 2005 express but there's no deployment
related sections, is it because of "express" edition and is using a
third party installer software a unique solution to deploy project
which made with VB express?
Look up "ClickOnce" on MSDN, I'm pretty sure it ships with the Express
editions.

Thanks,

It does. Build -Publish is the way to use it. There is Publish section in
project's properties to change settings.

Thanks for confirming Teemu - it's been a long time since I used the
Express editions to do anything except some quick tests.

I hope so. There's something related to ClickOnce under myapp ->
properties -"Publish Wizard" which maybe related to ClickOnce.
If you didn't know ClickOnce is not a third party installer. It is a part of
..NET Framework.

Yep, i guessed it already, however thanks for reminding. Still there
are some popular installers like InstallShield (commercial?) and
InnoSetup freeware particularly.

JFB,

This depends what VB 2005, if it is the Express version you are sticked to
Click once what is fact based on just copying the results in a folder.

If it is Visual Studio then there is the Setup and Deployment in Other
Project Types. By starting that and choosing for the Setup Wizard you are
almost half your way.

Unfortunately, there's no "setup and deployment project" at wizard in
Express editions. Only ClickOnce feature is available through
publishing section.

I read a comment somewhere:
"Setup project isn't available for Express Editions..."

ClickOnce is Internet Explorer-only, isn't it?
If your users are using another browser, like Firefox, I don't believe
ClickOnce will work?
Someone please confirm.

Thanks for you reply.
I have VS.. it was easy to deploy, just right click on my app properties and
select publish then follow the answer and done.
Looks like the publish option setup everything for me.
How can I change icon and the options to create the icon in desktop and
under witch folder is in programs???

JFB,

The icons go with the right click in the main pane and add a shortcut.

However a strange thing from the setup project is to get the properties.
The only way I know for that is selecting the setup project and then to
point to the property pane.

The icon used is the same one you define on your main form of your startup
project.

To change the folder it shows up under in Start Programs, go to the Publish
tab, click on Options, and change the Publisher Name. That is used for the
folder under Start Programs. the Product Name is displayed as the
application name under the app's folder.

To put a shortcut on your desktop, you have to put that in the code for your
application -- the ClickOnce deployment will not do it. Try googling "click
once desktop shortcut".
