Can't find Setup and Deployment

[hellsgate]

hey folks,

I'm using VS2005 Express Edition SP1. I've written a small application that I now need to deploy, but for some reason the 'Setup and Deploy Project' option isn't available in the New Project Dialog. I've googled this and can't find anything even remotely related and I'm a loss as to how to add this option to the New Project dialog. Can anyone help?

I think I've worked out what's going on. It seems that you don't get the Setup projects in the Express edition, so I'll have to make do with publishing the application (main Menu -> Build -> Publish). If I'm wrong, someone please let me know.

If you're using the Express edition then there is only ClickOnce deployment available. Genuine setup projects is one of the extras you get by paying for a more grown-up version

That would be correct.
