VB.NET 2005 Setup Wizard thing (like in Visual Studio)

[ironfistchamp]

Is there some cool and spangly setup wizard like in Visual Studio. I want there to be some way of doing that because the Publish function is pretty naff.

If there isn't one is there a way to make one? Maybe in a template or something...

Any help much appreciated

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, as specified on MSDN in the version comparison provided in more than one place. There are free third-party setup tools available, like Inno and Nullsoft Scriptable Install System (NSIS), although I'm not sure how well they handle .NET 2.0 at this stage. I think you'll find that these packages are quite powerful but not necessarily high in the user-friendliness stakes.

Thank you very much for your reply. I may look into more "grown up" versions.
