Creation of MSI Package from EXE using VS 2017 C#

I need to write a few msi packages using the exe's as a reference. I am not sure where to begin in Visual Studio (What packages or extras i need etc...). Also, if anyone can refer me to any code samples that would be great too... I just need to get the msi and can run it silently and without reboot from there... but if I can author the msi and include those parameters by editing in ORCA or something then that would be great too. It's all great... we have the best great... its tremendous.

 

Thanks in advance,
