title: How to Deploy WPF application using MSI
body: <p>I have a WPF C# desktop application that will need to be deployed as MSI (Windows Installer deployment, not ClickOnce deployment) in VS2010. My application will generate SQL CE database in run-time, manipulate Excel Workbook, and receive/transmit data from/to COM Port - so I don't know what is the appropriate way to deploy such an application. </p>
  
  <p>I am looking at <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ybshs20f%28v=vs.80%29.aspx" rel="nofollow">Windows Installer Deployment Tasks</a> which doesn't help me to get started. </p>
  
  <p>Could anyone show me some resources that give instructions on how to deploy an application as an MSI installer?</p>
