I'm using visual studio 2005 Setup project to create an installer for my application.
The outputs of the setup projects are:
– Setup.exe (a bootstrapper which makes installed .Net framework if it doesn't exist)
– .Net framework folder (for installation by the .exe above)
– .msi installation for my project (called by the setup.exe)
My question is:
Is there any way I can have a single .exe (or msi) installation which makes the entire
installation (and encapsulates all the functionallity menationed above) ?

It seams that the Visual Studio installer doen't let you create a single installation file.
I finally decided to use Win-Zip self extractor to create a single installation file which extract all of the above files and run the setup.exe
