Cannot find Visual Studio Installer projects on Visual Studio 2013

After completing my C # application, I had to make an installer. Seeing that the installer projects by default disappeared, I looked for a replacement.

I found Visual Studio installer projects. I uploaded the file here: https://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/9abe329c-9bba-44a1-be59-0fbf6151054d .

When I restarted Visual Studio, opened my project, clicked β€œadd new project”, and here is what I got: enter image description here

The problem is that I cannot find the installation project. I tried to restore the installation. I restarted Visual Studio several times.

My question is:

How can I find the installer project and why it does not work for me.

If I can't get it to work, are there any alternatives? (except InstallShield)

Additional Information:

Visual Studio customization projects no longer ship with Visual Studio

However, you can download them here.

Or use a third-party library like WiX.
