I have a program that I wrote using Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition, and I need to create self-extracting installer for. MSDN says to use the Setup and Deployment Template, but it is missing from the File-> Add-> New Project area where the rest of the templates are. I have been unable to download a template from Microsoft or anywhere else for that matter, what are my options

The express system does have the ability to deploy programs, you need to use the clickonce methods. If you want to make a seperate msi installer you will have to purchase a third party product or one of the main stream Visual Studio Products.
If you do want to use the click once system you can post your questions in the deployment groups on this site, or do a search on MSDN for Click once.
