Icon3 How to make an installer for C# application?

Hi guys,
For some reason I just got recently addicted with C#.. I just realized that it's much easier to develop a GUI application with this sucker.. so I've had so much fun playing around with it haha.. Anyways, anybody know how to make an installer for this thing? *I created a really basic application in about 15 mins..* without full functionalities of course... haha.. but I think I could complete this within a day or so.. haha... and thinking to make an installer for it.. Thanks guys

If its a program you have made and you want an installer to install it on other peoples computers etc... Then the program i would suggest is InnoSetup:
Inno Setup

I have used this before and it works great!

ClickOnce is embedded as the install packager for .NET. I have had great success (especially because it deploys as a web-install so you literally can release to a website and users auto-update to the latest version) If you are looking for a somewhat generic but solid solution, go for ClickOnce but plenty of other third party installers live out there - lots of them with more extensible options that ClickOnce can offer.

ClickOnce deployment allows you to publish Windows-based applications to a Web server or network file share for simplified installation. Visual Studio provides full support for publishing and updating applications deployed with ClickOnce. ClickOnce deployment is available for projects created with Visual Basic, Visual C#, and Visual J#, but not for Visual C++. For information on deploying Visual C++ applications, see ClickOnce Deployment for Visual C++ Applications.

No problem, i would definitely advise this especially if it doesn't have massively crazy requirements for an installer

For our projects we have using Actual Installer. All you need to create an installer it just specify you app's info and directory, and click "Build".
