This forum is for C#-specific questions only. Outside of the partially supported Setup Project in VS and ClickOnce there is no support for creating MSI's in the framework. You'll have to use a third party tool like InstallShield, InstallWise, etc. Please post your question in the support forum for the tool you intend to use. For VS or ClickOnce please post in the Microsoft Q&A forums.
