Hi,
Is there a newsgroup here committed to deployment (specifically using setup
& deployment projects)?

Are there any good MS press books on the subject?

Thanks very much for any clues

No and No.

In the past 5 days there have been about 3 posts on this subject alone and
nobody from MS has bothered to try and answer. S&D projects are proving more
and more to be one of the least-supported features of .NET and Visual Studio
in general. If you can, get your hands on InstallShield or something - That's
what I'm working on doing.
 
Hi Ant,

Are you having problems with VS 2003 deployment or is it VS 2005 ? If
you ask a specific question, you would get a specific answer.

Brandon,

Commercial solutions which are specifically designed to be for
deployment would obviously be more powerful than the Setup
functionality included with VS.NET. But I have found that in many
cases, it is quite enough to get the work done.

Just my 2cents,

Regards,

Cerebrus.
 
Where to ask the question tends to depend on whether you have a Visual
Studio question or a question about how MSI works. The VS questions show up
a number of groups, and microsoft.public.platformsdk.msi is specifically
about how MSI works. There's also a MS technical forums site for Clickonce
and S&D under the Windows Forms groups.
