Creating Microsoft Windows Installer (.msi) file from VS2005 project

Hi,

Not certain which list I should have posted this question to - hope you can help - Thanks.

Can anyone suggest suitable examples/walk through documentation or even general documentation I can read or try that describes the VS2005 process for creating an .MSI file from a project I am creating.

The project is to be fully standalone running on client machines however it requires .NET on the client machine and uses .NET Programmability Support for MSWord2003.

I can currently install the published project (directory of .exe, .dll files etc...) which gets and installs the .NET framework from the microsoft site and requires manual intervention to add .NET Programmability support.

I want to know if it is possible to package the .NET framework (required items) in the .MSI file and also control the .NET Programmability stuff.

Thanks in advance

Andrew
