how create a setup? (beginer with IA)

Until now I used Installshield Express Borland free edition without problems.
Now because I need more power I purchased IA express edition but
with IA I can't create a simple setup.

I created a project with 4 features.
When I try to build the project all seem to be ok but I have no chance to find a setup. I used "build current project" and "build multiple releases" and no diference. No single setup file, no 7zip file. I founded a MyProject.exe file with only 2 MB size that not work stand alone.

When I try to start the MyProject.exe from the "C:\\Release\\Web" folder the setup start but after a while the message is: "Downloading of instalation data from the web has failed"

When I try to start the MyProject.exe from the "C:\\Release\\Single" folder the setup run Ok and the app is installed OK but I can't run it as standalone setup if it is started from another directory or in another computer.

When I try to start the MyProject.exe from the "C:\\Release\\Uncompressed" folder the setup work ok. I asume that all files from that foldert must be copied to CD.

I'm sure that is my fault but I don't knew what is wrong.
Some help?

P.S. How I can import an old project created with Installshield Express Borland free ?

Hi Sorin,

Make sure the debug option is not checked in the Project Options window.
