Hi,
If you decide to create your own setup, you may find that it's a real pain to use Add/Remove Programs in Windows Control Panel before each test of your setup. If you simply add one to the setup project Version property (that is, if it's 1.0.1, then change it to 1.0.2), you will be asked if you want to change the ProductCode property too. Click 'Yes' and the new setup will install over the old system. There's a lot of misinformation about this (including some at the official Microsoft MSDN site). This worked with my install of VB.NET 2005!
In addition, the default for Visual Studio .NET is to not rebuild the setup project when the entire solution is rebuilt. To change this and build both the application and the setup project when the solution is rebuilt, right-click the solution in Solution Explorer and select Configuration Manager. Click the Build check box for the setup project.
