I'm trying to make an 'Install-To-Run' version of my Windows Forms Application through Visual Studio 2013 Express Edition(Couldn't afford another version..). However when I check my template list in 'project types' it doesn't show the 'other projects' list or any sort of list related to 'Setup and Deployment' at all. Is there any way to solve this problem or do I have to shift my current edition of visual studio for a better one?

Perhaps you can use the Community Edition. It has InstallShield Express limited, but I haven't used it yet.

Do I have to purchase a license for the Community Edition?

It pains me to recommend WiX, given that the learning curve is so high. However, if you want a free option that's not gimped, I think it's the best one.

No, it's free, as stated in the link I gave.
