I don't know if this is a limitation of the Express version of VB.NET 2008, but VB6 was capable of creating an installator, and adding extra needed files to it.

I have the Build>Publish option on VB.net 2008 express, but it don't ask for extra files to add to the installator.

żIs there a way to add to the installer a .txt file that my program reads at startup?

I'm not sure if Express has it, but we can create a project - Other Projects - Setup and Deploy that you just add to an existing program to create the installer.

... well, then, I need a third party solution.
