Cannot Create Single File MSI through VS 2005
Hello,
I am new to IS Pro 2008 and have a question about using IS from within VS2005...Where is the 'Build Installation' screen, or at least those settings, when working from with VS2005? When creating a setup from within VS2005, the package outputs uncompressed files in a companion folder next to the .exe and .msi - no matter what settings or wizards are invoked.
We CAN create the necessary package types, single file MSI's, when running in the stand alone version of IS 2008 by setting the appropriate values in the 'Buils Installation' screen, but not when working within VS 2005...
Env Details:
Windows Server 2003 SP1
Visual Studio 2005 SP1
InstallShield Pro 2008
Pre-Emptive Dotfuscator
Thanks in advance for the help.

You will want to set your builds up using the Build Configuration option from Visual Studio similar to how you might choose between Release & Debug builds for any other Visual Studio project.
