If you don't find "publish items", you can select the option "Primary Output" instead

This is how tutorials must be, no extras, straight to point, clear.

For the people who cant find "Publish Items", I chose "Primary Output", followed the rest of this tutorial and it worked well!

So happy I came across your video. I have been struggling with the shortcuts, and as mentioned by others most documentation on the web about this is really confusing. Thanks for getting me straightened out.

I have to stop my way to thank you for this to-the-point explanation, as I needed to complete an assignment right away, and my only concern was to build an installer for the class project. Indeed, this proved to be the fastet and simpler way, yet, your tone and teaching went beyond with a structured, instructive and actually great to follow speech. Not to mention, this saved me a day of work.

One of the clearfull and easiest tutorial I have watch..!! You make it so simple you are awesome..!

You help a lot and you explain things in so much detail that i cant stop watching

This video helped me understand the process of creating an install package. Other documentation was so convoluted nobody can understand it, and it keeps looping you back to topics you already read. This is great, thanks.

Thanks - to the point, no wasted time, no bs. Perfect.

The explanation is so much good. Its very clean and informative. I searched for lot of videos to install one of my Outlook VSTO add-in. Your video helped so much. Thanks for such a clear tutorial

Very useful. Thanks

for anyone getting the error about x64 and x86 incompatibility, do the following: select the builder project and go to the properties window (push F4 I believe) and change the target platform from x86 to x64. You wont be able to do this in the build configuration apparently.

all of your viedio are execelent

This is super helpful thanks

Very clear instruction - Thank you. However, i find that the procedure described does not provide a large icon for the desktop, only small and medium. To further elucidate, Windows 11 allows selection of small, medium, or large icons on the desktop; medium is the default. To select, right click in any blank area of the desktop and choose View, then Large, Medium, or Small icons. Selecting Large still shows only the medium size icon in an outlined rectangle, while small or medium shows the appropriate-sized, transparency icon. Any fix? Is this a limitation of VS Community?

Very, useful thank you

Thaks very much

Thank you very much for this video. I was able to create setups with ease. Now I'm looking for copying the MSI file to a central location (I have about 10 projects always in progress) as post Setup Build. Thanks in advance if you have something for me.

very clear👍

thx bro

Thanks a lot your effort. But 256 x 256 dimension may cause it not to appear. 48 x 48 or 64 x 64 is more convenient for this.

Thanks a lot

thanks man.

Super helpful. thank you very much. I'm hardware engineer, so software makes my brain explode :) I have problem though I cant figure out. I can install my program that I use to controll some ardunio vi ethernet to control some led lights on some underwater equipment I'm developing. the installer works just fine on my worksation lap topwhere I have visual studio installed on, but as soon as I install it on my secondary test computer, it installs, but wont run. I have using the .NET Framework 4.8 since I need the serial tool any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for this video, please make a video about setup with license key.

Thank's

this is a useful installer which I tried , it worked fine but is there any possibility to enter privacy text or terms of use text for the user to read during the installation?

Thanks, It works perfectly. But there is a small issue that I am not set the icon for the application where it displays in "Add/Remove Programs" window. I noticed at 10:33 you also had the same problem.

Peace be upon you, sir. Thank you for the wonderful and useful explanation, but I have a problem. Is it possible when I change the project then save it and run the setup again? Does it change for users who have a copy of the working executable and how can I do this?

question: how do i makre it so the programs install/uninstall name to be the programs name and not the setup files name? i.e "stock management" instead of "StockManagementSetup" its using the text name i assigned to the form for the shrotcuts and stuff but in my unisntlaler it uses the setup projects name

Will the setup file work as a standalone setup/installation file after building? Can I install on any other machine without the source file?

Hello, is there a version of that I can install the extension from a specific folder? The company just gives me permission to install from c:\install - anything else is run as user, not as admin. So that will not work for me, and maybe others?

I cant install VSIX extension, when its supposed to start the installation the error "The type initializer for 'PerTypeValues'1' threw an exception." occurs

I have a problem. I hope you can help me solve it. Namely: In Visual Studio I write the simplest adding program in the Console, everything is fine, it does not show any errors. As soon as I publish it and try to run the program correctly, it asks me for the first number and then for the second, and when it is supposed to perform the calculation, it hangs and minimizes itself. This is the case with all my console programs that I write. After publication, whenever they are about to perform any operation, they hang. I tried to find the cause and I can't find anything. I sent the codes to my friend to run them on his own, and they don't work for him either, even though they show absolutely no errors. Do you know what could be wrong? Maybe I'm missing something from Visual Studio add-ons
