    No, that's a version number (well not even that it's a year). What edition of VS2008 are you using?

    No, that's the version (which is what all editions of VS2008 is). Are you using: Express, Standard, Professional, Team Foundation Server? What edition are you using?

    Re: Installing program

    You could right-click your solution, select Add -> new Project, then select the Setup & Deployment project. I'd use the wizard for creating it though, it simplifies things for a first-timer. I use VS to create MSI installers all the time.

    I second that - you cant customise the installation that much but you can get it to install files, edit registry entries, create shortcuts, and also automatically download and install prerequisites such as the .NET framework or SQL server

    Yh was going to use it but got put of by its lack of customization. How do you get it to create desktop shortcut taskbar icon and make it show up under all programs?

    There's 2 base folders you can create shortcuts (or more subfolders). They're shown in the folder view tab.
