Visual Studio Installation Project

When creating a customization project in Visual Studio 2008, I try to create an MSI. I have a separate installation project, that is, I do not have the main installation project, I just want to send some random files.

The configuration / assembly properties indicate that it should create debug / myproj.msi. However, if I build either a solution or a project, I get only exe.

Do I need to compile this in a specific way to get it to create MSI?

To create an installer package, you must right-click on the project and select Build. Or change the solution settings to enable the installer build.

By default, installers are NOT built on every build, this is for performance reasons.
