Visual Studio publish as EXE or MSI installer

I don't really know why, but I am not a big fan of this new "clickonce" installer. Is there any way to have visual studio export an old MSI or EXE installer instead of the clickonce?

There are also several 3rd party extension which adds new Setup projects into Visual Studio, e.g. this one: Visual Studio marketplace

That will allow you to create NSIS or Inno Setup installers directly from IDE with all features like syntax highlighting, code completion and so on.

(I'm not a fan of it either...)

Just go to New Project -> Other Project Types -> Setup and Deployment -> Visual Studio Installer.

You might also like the Windows Installer XML (WiX) Toolset.
