Creating msi installer

I have configured Taskvision to work for my needs, but how do I create an installer?

That depends on what you want to install. If for example you have the sever set up on box and only need to install the client application to other computers: you should add a Setup Project to your solution and add the project output to the File System/Application Folder. From there you can manually add the misc directories and files (such as images and manifest files). But that's just a rough starting point, you'll probably want to experiment with Setup projects a bit and learn how to customize them. Check out: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/vsintro7/html/vbtskcreatingoraddingsetupproject.asp

When I attempted to create a client installer I included everything I thought could be a reference or dependency and still got "System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object" when I launched the client and logged on. I included everythng except the TaskvisionWS project. Is their something in their that needs to be included in the client build?
