This preview release provides support for Visual Studio Installer projects in Visual Studio 2013. You can download the extension from the Visual Studio Gallery.

#Visual studio advanced installer download To use this extension you can either open the Extensions and Updates dialog, select the online node and search for “Visual Studio Installer Projects Extension” or you can click here to go directly to the Visual Studio Gallery page that hosts the control. Once you have finished installing the extension and restarted Visual Studio you will be able to open existing Visual Studio Installer Projects or create new ones. Our intention with this extension is to give those of you with Visual Studio Installer projects the same functionality that you currently have in Visual Studio 2010.

If your Visual Studio installation fails, see Troubleshoot Visual Studio installation and upgrade issues for step-by-step guidance. Visual Studio opens your new project, and you're ready to code! You can filter by using the Platform list and the Project type list, too. You can also filter your search for a specific programming language by using the Language drop-down list. To see different templates, choose different workloads. The list of templates depends on the workloads that you chose during installation. In the template search box, enter the type of app you want to create to see a list of available templates. On the start window, choose Create a new project.

After your Visual Studio installation is complete, select the Launch button to get started developing with Visual Studio.
