Being able to build product and install separately

Hi

I've been experimenting with your Limited Edition 2011 product.

I'm new to Visual Studio 2010, so forgive my poor use of terminology. (In Visual studio a "project file" seems to be associated with a "solutions explorer" that can contain multiple "projects". This terminology is confusing. I'm calling the top level project a "solution".)

I tried the tutorial out first and I added the "C## fake project" and an install shield project to the same "solution".

My problem with this is, most of the time when I'm building, compiling and testing, I want to only build the product and not the install.

How can I do this?

The work around I've used for my own personal project was to create the install project separately and have a link to that project instead of including them together.
