Hi,
Is it possible to have all files need for an installation to be included in the .msi file?
I would like to have the user to have only the .msi file, double-click on it and the installation start automatically and install my application.
Right now, I must do a zip file including all files (.msi, my .exe and my .dlls) the installation need.
Thanks !

If your project type is Basic MSI, you can get single .msi package.
Project Assistant -> Build Installation page, select Single MSI Package checkbox, then build installation.

First, thanks for the reply...
It looks like this feature is not available in the Limited Edition coming with Visual Studio 2010. Do I make a mistake?

First a big thanks to people tried to help me, very appreciated !
I found the solution...
In VS 2010, go to "Build" -> "Configuration Manager"... In the appropriate project row (InstallShield project), in column "Configuration", select "Single image" (default was "DVD-5")...
It will build single .exe (containing all files it need for the deployment) in the release folder :o)
Big thanks again :o)
