发布MSI项目C＃

Question

We do have an application which did not have any setup (click once with updates checking, etc). However it gives very little information for our customers when installing. We have added Setup Project and everything works fine while installing from VS or from the folder. However, when we publish the application (local or to the web) it is still using click once. Setup.exe begins installation without loading any setup project files. How to publish the project with the msi installer only so the installation includes setup project? We use VS 2010 Pro.

Answer 1

In C:\\Users\\user\\Documents\\Visual Studio 2010\\Projects\\solution\\project\\bin\\release there is an EXE file that contains the .exe that would need to be run (outside of the click once). If you add that to the msi when you create it, it shouldn't deploy in Click Once.
