Welcome to FoxLearn
In this tutorial, I'll show you how to create a setup file in visual studio 2019
To play the demo, you should create a new windows forms application project
If you don't have the Microsoft Visual Studio Installer Projects extension, you can download and install it from the manage extensions menu.
You need to close your visual studio to install the Microsoft Visual Studio Installer Projects.
You can enter your form name or set the icon for your windows forms application, then create the setup project to make the setup file.
At the Application Folder section, you can choose the files you want to create setup or choose to add project output.
You can also create a shortcut to your desktop screen, then drag the shortcut to the User's Desktop or User's Programs Menu
You can also add an icon to your application or application shortcut
Right click on your setup project, then select the properties tab, you can enter author, product name, description...etc for your setup file
You can also add a requirement to install the dotnet framework before installing your application
Every time you create the setup file, you should select release mode, instead of debugging, then rebuild your project
Right click on your setup project, then select Open Folder in FileExplorer, you can find the setup file in the release folder
