Visual Studio .NET Wizard for Visual Basic .NET, Visual C++ .NET, and C# .NET

InstallShield 2016 Express Edition

The Visual Studio .NET Wizard creates a new InstallShield installation project and adds it to a Microsoft Visual Studio .NET solution.

Note • The Visual Studio .NET Wizard is available only if Microsoft Visual Studio .NET is installed on your system.

When you are creating the InstallShield installation project, the Visual Studio .NET Wizard does the following:

Creates a new InstallShield project (with the file name specified on the New Project dialog box) and adds it to the solution (.sln file).
Adds all dependencies to your project at build time if you have the Scan at Build option set to Dependencies and Properties (on the .NET tab of the Options dialog box).
Adds the primary outputs from every project in the solution to the InstallShield project.
Updates the release settings to deploy the appropriate version of the .NET Framework via download.

To launch the wizard, click the appropriate icon in the New Project dialog box.
