Creating Installer for WinUI3 project

Hi, I would like to create a classic installer for my WinUI3 project instead of using the Appxbundling thing where user can install at which directory they want the application to be. I read that this is possible using either InnoSetup or Wix Toolset. I just need to do unpackaged deployment? I tried searching around but there does not seem to be clear direction for this?

Break this down into problems. 1. How do I get an exe from a MAUI project (.NET 8 unpackaged, google that) 2. How do I make an installer for a folder with a bunch of .dll and the .exe and everything we need to run.

yeah innosetup, wix, and advanced installer are the most popular options theres also wixsharp which makes wix actually usable without you going insane if you want the easiest solution then go with advanced installer probably

Hi sorry for late response. I was focusing on different part of the project for a while. Thanks for the tips; will give 'em a go.
