Hello,
I would like to ask why I do not see the option "Publish files" in the "Add project Output Group" selection.
I am trying to make an application according to this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJw0eGfM1ZU&ab_channel=CodingJackpot
If you wanted to see what I mean concretely, it's at the time: 7:03 in that video.
Thanks for any reply

Hi @Petr Novak
I installed the Microsoft Visual Studio Installer Projects 2022 extension in Visual Studio 2022 community 17.2.5, followed the steps in the video to test, and did not encounter the issue you mentioned.
You can reinstall this extension, restart Visual Studio and test it again.
I did it, but it don't help :(
What is your version of Visual Studio? Could you share a sample program?
Yes, I could.
Here you are: https://youtu.be/sNuxzCYHSRU
I cannot reproduce your issue in .NET 6.0 Winforms Application.
please try:
If the issue still exists, could you share your project file?
It didn't help again :(. Here is the shared project. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/12K4cZgLsmNBZZJa7WEieQ0JqNzMBNuc1?usp=sharing
Hi, what you are looking for is available only in .NET Core 3.1, .NET 5.0 or .NET 6.0 projects but your project is in .NET 4.7.2 so you are not able to see the Publish file options in your project. You need to use one of the framework .NET Core 3.1, .NET 5.0 or .NET 6.0
Thanks.
