How to make an MSI with Visual Studio 2012 and Installshield LE

I've been given a Visual Studio solution someone else made. It has an installer project using Installshield LE. The installer builds fine but it makes an exe and I'm supposed to make an msi. I know the guy who wrote the project would generate msi files but I just don't see any options to do it. Is this doable with LE?

Go to step 6 and drill down to the Single Image release type. Set Compression on the build tab to yes and set setup launcher on the setup.exe tab to no. Build this release.
