I am sorry. I have looked. I just am trying to find a URL of
something that will tell me how to get the setup.exe file for my
program.

I have added a setup project. I have the dependancies. I rebuild the
solution. But there are no setup.exe .msi, etc. files. I am sure is
it simple. I just don't know where to look. Thank you for having

You should find the Setup.Exe and the MSI files located in the Setup
Project Folder.

%userprofile%\My Documents\Visual Studio Projects\[Setup Project
Name]\Debug

Thank you. I found it.

I was wondering if you knew of anything I could look at to install an
IE toolband. The Setup does as told and simply copies the .dll(s) to
the directory and that's it. I need it to register the .dll, put it
in the registry where it's supposed to be for extensions, etc. Do you

You can register your dll by following the instructions from this article: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-
us/vsintro7/html/vxconregistrysettingsproperties.asp

Also, you can modify the registry using Registry Editor. To open the Registry Editor, click on the setup project in the Solution Explorer. Choose View menu -> Registry
Editor. Here is an article to get you started: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/vsintro7/html/vxconregistrysettingsproperties.asp

Hope this helps,
