Visual studio 2012 2013 change installshield limited edition project configuration to single image and change setup.exe to another name

Click on "Build" on the standard tool bar or right click on solution explorer to show configuration manager .




Then you can select what kind of output for disk image.


To change setup.exe file name you have to double click "Releases" in the setup project which will show "Build" (see figure below next), then click on "Express" will show"Setup File Name". (this is very hard to find, so I have to record it here).


You setup file is default to setup.exe, you can change  to your application name (see below the setup file name is blank, but then below description says default to Setup.

Then the single exe file generated, and you can use singlefile.exe /S /v/qn to do silent install.
Or if you specify MSI name and change to DVD-5 you will see MSI generated.
Just a lot of work. I have to use Wise installer to remove the previous version then to do silent install after that.
