Books for Deployment Project
-
Can someone please point me to some good references that will tell me how to control a Visual Studio deployment project? Through trial-n-error, I just spent more than a day building my first deployment project. The biggest problem/frustration was getting the files to go into the 'right' directories. I've got at least a half dozen VB.Net books. Only the college text book mentions deployment in any detail, but it's working with some simple examples. I've got lots of questions and I can probably dig out most of the answers if there is a good book or web site out there about deployment projects. Thanks for the help. You can reply here on the board or via e-mail to CP@lastnamesoftware.net. --HamCoder Andy Arnold, WV8AA

A deployment project should be quick and easy. What sort of application do you mean to deploy? Regards, Johny Rodriguez The GDC, New York.

Thanks for the help guys. The links from ProgLoad were great. I re-built the installer last night in just over an hour. Johnny, the install isn't too complicated. A single EXE in a sub-directory under Program Files with the Help files in a sub-directory under that. The data files are in two directories (Data and Backup) under Documents & Settings. One of my problems was managing the project properties, which aren't where I expected them. --HamCoder
