在 VisualStudio2013中创建应用程序设置

我已经有一个项目，是准备建立。目前，我使用视觉工作室2013年。

但是，我不知道如何创建一个 MSI 设置在视觉工作室2013年，但为视觉工作室2010年有大量的教程在那里讨论如何创建一个设置在视觉工作室2010年。

  • 这是否意味着我需要安装视觉工作室2010，以便创建我的项目的应用程序设置？

  • 什么是最简单的方法来创建一个应用程序设置在视觉工作室2013年？

Microsoft recommends to use the "InstallShield Limited Edition for Visual Studio" as replacement for the discontinued "Deployment and Setup Project" - but it is not so nice and nobody else recommends to use it. But for simple setups, and if it is not a problem to relay on commercial third party products, you can use it.

The alternative is to use Windows Installer XML (WiX), but you have to do many things manually that did the Setup-Project by itself.

As of Visual Studio 2012, Microsoft no longer provides the built-in deployment package. If you wish to use this package, you will need to use VS2010.

In 2013 you have several options:

  • InstallShield
  • WiX
  • Roll your own

In my projects I create my own installers from scratch, which, since I do not use Windows Installer, have the advantage of being super fast, even on old machines.

Apart from Install Shield and WiX, there is Inno Setup. Although I haven't tried it myself I have heard good things about it.

Microsoft has listened to the cry for supporting installers (MSI) in Visual Studio and release the Visual Studio Installer Projects Extension. You can now create installers in VS2013, download the extension here from the visualstudiogallery.

I will tell , how i solved almost similar problem. I developed a application using VS 2013 and tried to create wizard for it failed to do. Later i installed premium VS and tried and failed.

at last i used "ClickOnce" and it worked fine.

So i believe here also , "CLICKONCE" would help you.
