[issue30251] Windows Visual Studio solution does not have an install target

[Steve Dower]

Steve Dower added the comment:

Visual Studio has some deployment concepts, but for multi-project solutions like ours you would generally have a separate project. It's a build tool, not an install tool, and mixing the concepts is generally a bad idea.

For building an installer, these projects are in tools/msi.

For doing a quick layout, we could write a script to simply copy files around. There are scripts in Tools/msi that do some of this already that could be adapted.
