Create msi installer with custom options instead of one-click installe 2

[frumpus]

I am new to Visual Studio 2008 (Professional) and I have a finished program that I am trying to publish. The one-click publishing thing works fine, but I want more control over the install (I want the program in Program Files, not the weird long path it goes in now, I want to give the user options for desktop shortcuts, i don't want the program to automatically launch after install, etc.)

I cannot for the life of me find any publish settings that allow me to use Windows MSI or customize the install process in any way. Am I blind? Is it not here?

Is there a good tutorial somewhere doing this in VS 2008?

If at first you don't succeed, then sky diving wasn't meant for you!

Thanks to both of you. This is not as intuitive as I had imagined. :-/
