This question maybe a duplicate. Try to use solutions from here VSTS build is not generating .msi file using .vdproj and here VSTS Online Building Setup Projects?
- Use your own build agent.
- Install Visual Studio Installer Projects extension into your build agent.
- Use a custom step to build your project: How to create .msi and setup.exe file from the command line using devenv.exe, Building VS 2015 Setup Projects in Team Build
