Windows Installer deployment

Hi,

In the help document it tells how to use Windows Installer deployment to create a deployment project as the following:

"To create a deployment project

  1. On the File menu, point to Add, and then click New Project.

  2. In the Add New Project dialog box, in the Project Types pane, open the Other Project Types node, click Setup and Deployment Projects, then click Setup Project in the Templates pane.

......"

But there's no "Setup and Deployment Projects" template in VS2005 Express, isn't it

So I cannot use Registry Settings Management in Deployment to add registry keys and values during installation.

How can I access registry keys and values What are the functions

Thanks.

    Well, I have the same problem you wrote in Your first post (I installed the MSDN together with visual basic).

    I already used My.Computer.Registry, but in this way it seems that I can only change registry settings during run-time.

    I need to access the registry during installation time, but I don't find a way. I'm so sad...

    I got it.

    I can use My.Computer.Registry Object to access the keys.
