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!

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.

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

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.

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.

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

Great video, very helpful information! Thank you!!!

Great video. It helped me to set up my MSI file fast. Advice set your: Property ProductName the way you want, (without the Setup part in it), so your install path would be setup correctly immediately.

Thanks eng it's realy amazing.😍

Thank you so much for this video!

Thank you soo much.....this video help me a lot.

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.

Very, useful thank you

very clear👍

thx bro

Thaks very much

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.

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.

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.

Thanks a lot

Thank's

thanks man.

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?

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

thank you

Question: during visual setup creation add launch conditions if the specified file exists.

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?

I have a project with output based from another dependency class library in the same solution which will be required when running main application as Invoke from Non-dotNet file. How do I do that?

I did this, but it seems this installer won't create an MSI that works in the Windows Store, I get failures for things like version checking, among other things.

it appears that current version has a new system for creatign shortcuts, and i cnanot choose the primary output

Would this work for software with multiple cs projects?

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.
