The MSI file
I have the latest I.S. Spring Express. I can see where the SETUP.EXE file is created after I "build", but where is the MSI file without the EXE?

I think that Setup.exe is created by default. If you want to generate an .msi file but not a Setup.exe file, you'll want to configure the Setup Launcher setting accordingly. So, in the Releases view, select the release type that you are building. Then, on the Setup.exe tab, change the value of the Setup Launcher setting.

DukeMD,
It sounds like you are using the product in eval mode. In eval mode, InstallShield generates only compressed Setup.exe files; it does not generate other types such as .msi files, regardless of which release settings you select.
For more information, see Q200900: Functionality Notes for the Evaluation Version of InstallShield.
