Create simple setup.exe

Question

I have found loads of refernces to creating a simple setup.exe file in VS by doing the new project - setup wizzard but there is only Enable InstallShield Limited Edition.

I can't install the following for VS 2015, it thinks VS is not installed:

https://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/9abe329c-9bba-44a1-be59-0fbf6151054d

Any advise? I don't want all of the folders and files that come with publishing my application, only setup.exe

Thanks

Hey thanks, I was trying to find another solution as InstallSheild does not support Visual Studio 2015 but I couldn't find anything so I am having to uninstall it and install Visual Studio 2013. — Sauced Apples, Apr 24 '15 at 07:39
The other option is to use something outside VS, such as [Inno Setup](http://www.jrsoftware.org/isinfo.php) (which is free). — Ken White, Apr 24 '15 at 12:35

No other option available for my needs.

Had to uninstall VS 2015 and install VS 2013 to be able to use InstallSheild.
