VS 2022 - Publish Under Build Tab Missing - I understand some things don't have a publish.

Question

SCENARIO: Using VS 2022. Trying to publish Monogame following the monogame website tutorial for publishing to a single .exe file. This is a standard Monogame cross platform OpenGL project. Everything defaulted. Can move everything over to the DirectX version and see if that has any bearing on the situation. Trial and error.

It is a one file .cs game.

VS does build the .exe along with the .dll files needed, but Monogame site shows them publishing to a single file. Step by step. Under my build tab there is no Publish. I understand some projects do not have this publish option.

I have everything needed as far as VS goes (extensions and tools). Will continue to dig, but hope that someone here has bumped into this issue.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Eric

DISCLAIMER: Tried fresh VS2022 install, SDK, .NET. Tried the uncheck and recheck options.
