MS nuked Visual Studio setup projects with VS2012; InstallShield solution costs an arm and leg #15

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

Microsoft has removed VS setup project support completely with VS2012.  
InstallShield is the only alternative (apparently, and recommended), but costs 
$600, as much as VS!!  We need to find an alternative setup solution that will 
work for VS2010 and VS2012.

VS/InstallShield is supposed to have an import for old VS2010 setup projects, 
but you have to install installshield--apparently--in order to do the import.  
The setup project in the VS2010 solution is f'ed, and the "singleinstall" 
solution in the VS2012 solution is for release mode.
