title: How to publish/deploy visual studio project as an installer
body: <p>I just finished developing a system for a company. It will be used on 50+ PCs.</p>
  
  <p>The only problem left is the installation process. I don't think it's efficient to manually copy the whole folder of the project e.g. on Documents folder and create a Desktop shortcut of the .exe file on every PC.</p>
  
  <p>If possible, I'd like to compress <em>(not sure if this is the right term for it)</em> the whole project folder into a single setup/installer which will place it in the Documents folder and create a Desktop shortcut of the .exe file. Is there a way to do that? Thanks.</p>
