Hello folks, I have a question:
I've developed an application in C# with Visual Studio 2010 and into my solution i have 2 Projects: The application itself and the setup project.

What's the difference between Publish and just compiling the setup project?
Also when I publish the project doesn't create the links that must create the setup project.

Thanks in advance.
Best Regards.

Oh! now I'm understanding... so the better way for me is the compiling in release mode the setup project and use that output as main installer.
Thanks Hiren and Abhinav!!

Keep VS in release mode. and compile the project,
You will find .exe and .msi of your setup inside project Release directory.
