One project to create single MSI and single EXE?

Hi

I've got a new requirement to my installation project to generate both a single MSI file and single EXE. The project currently contains a number of redistributables. I don't want to have two code streams. Any ideas on how I can do this? Currently the project is a Basic MSI type.

you could just configure two releases off the same project one that builds the single exe and one for the MSI.

Keep in mind that without the setup.exe the installshield prerequisites don't get enforced. So unless you have configured a way to check for the prerequisites and prevent the msi from running until they are all installed the single MSI is not a great option.
