Create an installer from Visual Studio 2012 to run an application on another PC -


i wrote application visual studio express 2012 on windows 7 pc research purposes. want run on pc (with windows 8), used medical group. question is: how? installshield le doesn't work on express... tried install visual studio express 2012 on other pc (obviously win8 version) using absolutely same version number: 11.0.60610.01 update 3; gives me error importing project , says project "not compatible". should do?

as wix cannot integrate directly visual studio express, can install visual studio isolated shell environment along side express edition.

or can use stand alone wix ide wixedit author installer. suspect you've downloaded wrong visual studio express version.

the visual studio express 2012 windows 8 meant build windows 8 store apps, need visual studio express 2012 desktop applications version instead, when building on windows 8, name bit confusing, agree.
