How do I deploy Windows applications written in MonoDevelop?

I'm currently on the end of a trial of Visual Sudio 2010 and I started using MonoDevelop a bit. It looks to have most of the functionality I need, so I'm hoping to migrate to it. Unfortunately, I can't figure out how to create an installer for my solution. Is there a plug-in or option I missed that will allow me to create an MSI?

This is not supported directly in MonoDevelop (for MSI). There is a current development project for reworking the Packaging system, including support for WiX, which would allow this.

Currently, the best option would be to use an external project for building your deployment. WiX and NSIS are both good options.

I don't believe you are going to find that kind of functionality. You could use WiX on the command line.

Also, if you are still experimenting with IDE's there is always SharpDevelop. It supports WiX and .Net development.
