How create EXE with VB and Visual Studio and MSI-Microsoft Software Installation prog

[pcumming]

How can Visual Studio create EXE with VB $ MSI Software Install?

We are using Visual Basic and Visual Studio. There is a new version of a utility called MSI-Microsoft Software Installation (MSIEXEC).

Somewhere in Visual Studio is an option to create an EXE. Right now all we are coming out with is an MSI file that we can run to install an application.

We want to come out with an EXE file probably called Install or Setup.exe

Any help on this and the keystrokes necessary to find this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for an email reply and posting if not too much trouble.
Sincerely,

Peter

You cant make an exe using the microsoft MSI installer, I cant use mine anymore, because visual interdev broke, but when I used to use it, it always compiled to MSI. I have tried changing the MSI extension to EXE, but no luck there.

Your stuck with MSI, unless you get wise installer, or installshield, but I must warn you, installshield 6 pro costs $1000.

If you look under the project menu and then project properties there's a build type option. Choose Installer with Windows Installer loader. That will give you a setup.exe
