How to create a project Installer

My manager, Martin Schray, created a nice little installer for the Delayed Startup Application and posted an online video on how to do it. Using Visual Studio 2005, this is remarkable easy. I remember having to use installshield and gouge my eyes out while repeatedly slamming my head against a wall since it would just decide it would no longer compile when nothing changed.

I follow all of the steps. It worked, but my xna game keeps crashing every time I want to launch it....

Hey RJ, this process is for normal applications, to create XNA game installers, it may need to be different.

XNA forums may be of some help, here is a link I quickly whipped up.

Hey! Thanks for the tip! But I'm using XNA 2.0 and can't use the Inno tool

Solution for XNA PC games is use XNA 3.0. It has an installer
