    Tried to recompile my apps I created on Win7 using Visual Studio 11 in Windows 8. It all compiles without any problems and able to run it in debug mode. I then noticed that there was no Setup and Deployment Project under Other Project Types. Will this still be supported in VS 11?

    regards,

    Dan

    it is no longer supported. 1 quick view in the readme would tell you this ;)

     

    2.4.1.4 Visual Studio Setup projects and templates do not show up in the New Project dialog box

    Setup projects and templates are not available in the New Project dialog box.

    To resolve this issue:

    Setup projects are no longer supported in Visual Studio. For more information, see the Announcements section of the ClickOnce and Setup & Deployment Projects forum.

    Visual Studio setup projects have been discontinued. So you basically need to find a new setup authoring tool.

    Visual Studio still supports the InstallShield LE and WiX add-ons: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee721500.aspx

    You can also use a stand-alone tool: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_installation_software

    @Andre.Ziegler: Sir, then how are we supposed to make installer based projects now?

    Thanks in advance.

    Read the links at the top of this forum about InstallShield LE. It has approximately the same feature set as Visual Studio setup projects.  More tools listed here:
