hi again guys,
 
I have been working through a book and it shown me how to get my app up and running on other machines. it says click "publish > publish application" ... when i do this it does indeed build and create a setup.exe file for me and i can install it on my PC ... however, it doesnt look like a typical installation screen with the steps ... and there is also no part i can see to add my EULA ... or any other components i want to customise my installation ... i found out that VS 2010 uses something called click once ? .... is this a light weight version of creating an installer and is limiting me .. or is it that im just not doing it correct?
when i used VS 2008 team system i could create my entire installer just how i like ... EULA and everything .... but i had to add a seperate deployment project in ... but now with VB2010 express .. its called "publish" ... and behaves no where near like 2008 did and seems very limited ??
 
is this just because im using a lightweight express edition of VS?
 
Thanks
 
John
