Extending Visual Studio Setup Project – Part 1 One of the thing I hear all the time when companies talks for building reliable Windows Installer (MSI) for their product is –> Visual Studio Setup Project is not enough and we need much much more, my first response is – Wait, VS Setup project is not like Advanced Installer , InstallShield but still can do a lot more outside the box.
