Install Shield Limited Edition in visual Studio 2013 Express
First of all I'm new to visual studio. I need to develop a Setup (.exe) using Visual Studio C#. In order to create a setup, we need Windows Installer wizard. While searching on google I got a link from msdn Here
I tried to create a new project as described, but I wasn't able to find "Other Project Types". I searched google again and finally I got: InstallShield Limited Edition template provided by flexerasoftware.com. I registered and downloaded InstallShield 2013 Express Edition, and installed it. Restarted the machine and opened Visual Studio 2013, still I couldn't find other project type templates.
Everyone simply says choose setupwizard under "other project types", but no one provides any description on templates setup.
What am I missing here, and why this much complexity to create setup file wizard. Guide me If I am missing anything, I'm in a serious trouble.
Note : Currently am using Visual Studio 2013 Express edition.
Thanks.
