Release build format
Hello,
I work on a Basic MSI package and I don't know how to configure the release build so the result will be a setup.exe and a MSI file.
I'm able to get a single MSI file or a single Setup.exe.
The idea is to have a setup.exe wrapper for the initial install (includes prerequisites, language selection dialog, etc) which will run the MSI.
For updates, the MSI only will be pushed through network domain and will be run with command line params.
Is this scenario possible?
Can I generate a (small) setup.exe + (bigger) MyProject.MSI ? (no cab files!)
Thanks,
John

Nobody can help me here?
I want to mention that I saw a result like that (setup.exe + .msi) generated using the Visual Studio environment, so I suppose that it's possible. But how?
