    yeah, you can dowoad a plugin called 'Visual Studio Installer' from the ms website

    it creates a new project type in interdev, called VB Installer - using it will allow you to make nice .MSI packages....

    it doesnt run as part of vb, it's part of InterDev, so if you haven't got that then you won't be able to use it.

    I got my copy from MSDN, so you would be best going to www.msdn.microsoft.com and doing a search for "visual studio installer"
