Create an application setup in visual studio 2013

I already have a project which is ready to build. Currently, I am using visual studio 2013.

But, I don't know how to create an MSI setup in visual studio 2013, but for visual studio 2010 there are plenty of tutorials out there discussing how to create a setup in visual studio 2010.

  • Does this mean I need to install visual studio 2010 in order to create an application setup for my project?

  • What is the easiest way to create an application setup in visual studio 2013?

Microsoft has listened to the cry for supporting installers (MSI) in Visual Studio and release the Visual Studio Installer Projects Extension. You can now create installers in VS2013, download the extension here from the visualstudiogallery.
