How to produce a single file installer?

[varphi625-x]

Hi,

When I build my setup project, the folder where the installer is has this structure:

1. program files (folder)
2. 0x0409.ini
3. Project.msi
4. setup.exe
5. setup.ini

How do I build an single file installer? If I remove the folder, the installation fails. That's why I'd like to have a single file installer.

Cheers,

Carlos Mallen

Try change your build configuration to "SingleImage".

Select "Configuration Manager..." in the "Build" menu of Visual Studio or, if your building with MSBuild, run the build as
msbuild.exe /property:Configuration=SingleImage

Hello Carlos,

I understand that you would like to have a compressed setup. In order to achieve this kindly change the settings of the “Builds”.
To build a compressed Release, navigate to Releases View –> Select the Release Type say “Single Image” –> Build Tab and then Compression type i.e. Compressed.

I have attached a screen shot of the Releases View for your reference.I hope this helps! 🙂
