After finishing my C# application I had to make an installer. After seeing that the default installer projects are gone, i searched for a replacement.
I found the Visual Studio Installer Projects. I downloaded the file from here: https://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/9abe329c-9bba-44a1-be59-0fbf6151054d.
When i restarted Visual Studio, opened my project, clicked "add new project" and here is what I got:
Problem is that I cant find the setup project. I have tried repairing the install. I restarted Visual Studio several times.
How can I find the installer project and why it's not working for me.
If I cant make it work, are there any alternatives ? (except InstallShield)
Visual Studio 2013 Community with update 4

If you have Visual Studio open, go to Tools > Get Tools and Features... which opens the Visual Studio Installer. Or, open the Visual Studio Installer from the Start menu.
From Visual Studio, choose Extensions > Manage Extensions, and search for "Visual Studio Installer Projects". Or, download the extension directly from the Marketplace. From the Start window, choose Create a new project, and then type "setup" in the search box. Choose a Setup project, and follow instructions.
In the Windows Start menu, you can search for "installer", and then select Visual Studio Installer from the results. If you have Visual Studio open, select Tools > Get Tools and Features..., which opens the Visual Studio Installer.
You could try Tools > Extensions and Updates
and search for it:
