Single file deployment with .NET

[SkiNLaB]

I'm trying to deploy one of my first apps developed in .net, and with vb6 I have used inno for many years now (and found it great).

But now with visual studio 2005, it looks like there are some new options. ClickOnce looks great, but I don't have any net facing windows servers (only linux). So I thought one of the other options would be good, File or Cd deployment, but this method spits out like 4 files, which isnt very clean, as I need to zip them up, and then email them.

So my question is does VS2005 support a package creation process that spits out a single installation package file like an MSI or EXE

CHeers,

If Inno Setup works for you why do you want to switch?

It took me a while to get into the swing of things with inno and my vb6 project. I thought it might be the same coming from a new .net angle.

A good point though, I will poke around your site for a how-to guide with .net
