Are you trying to publish using Click-Once deployment? – Black Frog Oct 09 '14 at 09:20 — Black Frog, Oct 09 '14 at 09:20

If you add an installer, you can create a msi. I used the extension for Vs2013 VSI Bundle. https://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/9abe329c-9bba-44a1-be59-0fbf6151054d

The publish functionality I didn't try with that. See also the Stackoverflow item: https://stackoverflow.com/a/23339652/200824
