Basic MSI Project output a .MSI only

Currently I am evaluating InstallShield 2012 and created a simple Basic MSI project.

It includes 2 files (both .NET assemblies) and I included three display languages. And nothing else. I don't have any prerequisites.

When building this project I always will get a setup.exe, and not an .msi. Even if in the releases view the "Create installation launcher (setup.exe)" option is turned off. I always get a setup.exe instead of the .msi file.

Also reducing the languages back to 1, doesn't seem to help.

How could I turn the creation of the bootstrapper/setup.exe off, like I could with InstallShield 12...

I believe this is a limitation of the evaluation version, it will only produce setup.exe.

I'm sure someone else will correect me if i'm wrong.

ncalverley is correct. Here's a KB article that explains the limitations:
