Every WiX online tutorial - using Visual Studio - I try to follow asks a user to create a WiX Setup project as follows:

Right click on your solution folder and select Add > New Project…
Select ‘Windows Installer XML’ > ‘Setup Project’ and give your installer project a name as shown below:

But after installing Wix Toolset Visual Studio 2017 Extension from here and following their instructions to install WiX 3.11 RC2 from here, what I get in my VS2017 Community Edition is the set of Wix templates as shown below. Question: Which of the templates shown in image below should I use to create an MSI installer for a simple Winform app? Or, is there something I am missing here? If so, how can I remedy that?

Yes, this is known issue and they are working on it: https://github.com/wixtoolset/issues/issues/5531. This is an RC and not RTM.

You should select WiX Toolset\v3\Setup Project
