"publish" and EULAs

[eBob.com]

I use VB 2008 EE and have developed a small application. My plan is that
users will install it from a CD, or maybe I will just email them the
setup.exe file. I've used "Publish" to create the setup.exe file and that
process seems pretty straightforward. My question is that I see no way to
include an EULA to which the end user must agree during the install process.
Have I overlooked something, or does "publish" just not support the
inclusion of an EULA? If "publish" doesn't include support for an EULA, how
do you license your product to someone?

Thanks, Bob

Create an installer project for your application instead of using Publish.
This way you can configure virtually all aspects of the installation.

Thank you Andrew. I don't see anything about an "installer project" in VS
Express. Am I missing something, or is that feature available only in a
priced version of VS? Do you know if installer projects are supported by
the "standard" edition"? If so, will the standard edition work with the
Express versions of VB, C# and C++?

Thanks, Bob

Sorry, I missed the fact that you were using Express edition. The installer
projects are only available in professional and above versions.
