I am sorry. I have looked. I just am trying to find a URL of
something that will tell me how to get the setup.exe file for my
program.

I have added a setup project. I have the dependancies. I rebuild the
solution. But there are no setup.exe .msi, etc. files. I am sure is
it simple. I just don't know where to look. Thank you for having
mercy.

You should find the Setup.Exe and the MSI files located in the Setup
Project Folder.

%userprofile%\My Documents\Visual Studio Projects\[Setup Project
Name]\Debug

Thank you. I found it.

I was wondering if you knew of anything I could look at to install an
IE toolband. The Setup does as told and simply copies the .dll(s) to
the directory and that's it. I need it to register the .dll, put it
in the registry where it's supposed to be for extensions, etc. Do you
know what I should look at? Thank you.

You can register your dll by following the instructions from this article: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-
us/vsintro7/html/vxconregistrysettingsproperties.asp

Also, you can modify the registry using Registry Editor. To open the Registry Editor, click on the setup project in the Solution Explorer. Choose View menu -> Registry
Editor. Here is an article to get you started: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/vsintro7/html/v
xconregistrysettingsproperties.asp

Hope this helps,
