How To Deploy VB10 Project

Question

Hello...
This is a very basic question but yet I am stuck. I am trying to deploy my visual basic project. I have created the exe file. But when I go to File > Add Project > New Project, I cannot file a Setup and Deployment Projects option listed. I checked several Google searches, and this seems to be the correct pathway. Not sure what I am missing.

Thanks
Gary V

Are you using VS Express?

I added a comment below...I am using VS2010 (VB10.net).... initially I started learning in VB Express but then switched to the purchased VS2010 so that I could create deployment packages...

Solution 1

You will need to run out to the nearest computer shop and purchase VS2010.
This has the full deployment capabilities.

VB2010 Express is not capable of doing this as it is not designed for such things.

Alternatively, you could write your own.
(Or, if you know someone with the full VS version, bribery and corruption are always welcome.)

Sorry, should have mentioned that I am using VS2010 not VB10 Express.

Solution 2

You'd be better off using a third party solution, like InnoSetup, Wix, InstallShield Express, or whatever. The Setup and Deployment project is being dropped by Microsoft in favor of InstallShield Express in the next Visual Studio release.

Dave...good suggestion...I had been using Install Shield for the VB6 project but as I up dated to VS2010 hoped to go the cheaper router and use MS option Of Deployment. Will probably end up with Install Shield as i did before.

BUT, would still like to know why my VS2010 (VB10) does not seem to give me the option????
