Install Package for VB.Net Express - How To

[Guest]

I need to know how to create an installer package for a program written in
VB.Net Express. It apparently is not the same as the regular VB.Net for
purchase. I have looked at Microsoft's site and other newsgroups to discover
how to do this, but after many hours of research without finding this
information, I decided to ask.

Express edition does not support this. The Express editions are targetted
to hobbyist programmers and non-professional development, so it's very
unlikely that users out of this group will have the requirement to
distribute their applications.

You might be able to use the Nullsoft Scriptable Install System instead
(for Express deployment).
