VS 2012 - Create setup for single project in solution?

I am trying out InstallAware Express, Visual Studio 2012 plugin, and have the following issue:

My solution has several projects, but I only want to create the setup for a single project in the solution. The other EXE projects are test projects, etc. that I don't want to release to the end users.

When I go into InstallAware->Setup Properties, and go the the "Files" section, it shows all the EXE's for all projects in the solution. I can't find a way to remove the ones I don't want.

How do I create an installer for just one project?

I know I can do this with the main InstallAware IDE, but I want it to automatically include all dependencies without me having to manually select files, which is why I want to use the VS plugin.

Thanks,
Joe

Dear Joe,

Unfortunately, this is not possible using the InstallAware Visual Studio addin.
The addin automatically includes all the solution's files and these can be edited using the full IA IDE only.

Otherwise if you don't want to use the IA IDE the only possible alternative, it is to work with separate VS projects instead of solutions.
