In VS 2008, when I create a project I can add a setup project easily. File->Add->New Project... then in Project types: select Other Project Types->Setup and Deployment - and there are a whole load of installed templates - including Setup Project to create an MSI installer.

But in VS 2010 - there are no templates in the Setup and Deployment - I'm using the Pro edition, not Express or beta: Is this the same for you - or do I have a duff installation of VS 2010? Otherwise how do I create an MSI installer for my projects?

I see them in the usual place on Premium. There's now an additional one for InstallShield Limited Edition. According to the links below they should be available on Professional:

In Pro, they are under Other Project Types -> Setup and Deployment -> Visual Studio Installer

The 5 listed ones are:
Setup Project
Web Setup Project
Merge Module Project
Setup Wizard
CAB Project

Thanks for the info: I didn't spot the sub directory of Visual Studio Installer.
