How to Create a Setup File in Visual Studio 2022 | Create Installer for C#, VB and C++ Applications

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

There's an issue when installed, the software can't write anything and because of that crash

Very, useful 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.

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?

Прикольное произношение! Зато все слова звучат отчётливо, легко понять на слух.😀

How to give Read/Write permissions to a Application Directory in Custom Actions?

If I use a SQL database with my App then is it the same procedure or i have to do more other steps to make the setup work ?

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?

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.

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.

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

Cheers man, you made it really simple

very clear👍
