Is there a Visual Studio Installer Project type for Visual Studio 2019?

Question

I am trying to build a VS 2017 solution which includes a Visual Studio Installer Project with the just released Visual Studio Pro 2019. Of course, when I tried to open the solution I got an error because there was not Visual Studio Installer project type in VS 2019. And, I cant find a place to load it from.

How do I add a Visual Studio Installer Project type in the released version of VS 2019?

Answer 1

Install the addin in Visual Studio 2019:

This extension provides the same functionality that currently exists in Visual Studio 2015 for Visual Studio Installer projects. To use this extension, you can either open the Extensions and Updates dialog, select the online node, and search for "Visual Studio Installer Projects Extension," or you can download directly from this page.

This extension is designed to work with Visual Studio 2017 and Visual Studio 2019.
