ASP .NET Project Deployment 1

[EnemyGateIsDown]

Hi Guys,

I have a completed .NET project which I now want to package. I have added a deployment project to my solution and I can see how I can add files to the deployment.

My quesiton is which files do I need to add as I dont want to add the project files only the ones that are required for the install. Can anyone point me in the right directionm on this ?

Any help is as always greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Chris

Are you using VS2003 or VS2005?

OK, the easiest method is to add a Setup Wizard project (rather than the Setup Project which it sounds like you have done). Once you done this, simply step through the wizard and select the "Primary Output" and "Content Files" checkboxes.

Hi

Under setup and deployment projects I only seem to have setup project. I have just check my installed components and apparently it is a complete install?

Hmmm....that may be down to the type of visual studio you are using (e.g. professional, enterprise etc). I think we used the enterprise version and it was included on there. I'll see if I can find out any info from microsoft.

I can't see anything obvious from the microsoft site so you may just have to do this manually. This is just from memory, so hopefully this will be correct!

Once you've created your setup project, click on something called "web application folder". Go into the right hand side panel, right click ans select Add->Project Output. You should have several options, two of which are Content Files and Project Output; select both of these.

Let me know if that works as there could be some differences to what I remember!
