I have written a windows service which I want to deploy company wide to all
machines. What is the best way to do this? Most users are remote users.

Any ideas are appreciated.
 
Hey thanks, that helped a bunch.

Do you know of any examples on how to deploy this over the internet? In
other words, a "download button" to install all that needs to be installed.

Thanks

I feel sorry, I don't have any sample for doing that and I wouldn't
install a Windows Service from the internet ;-).
 
Brent,
Put a link to the .msi file itself on a web page.

Your users would need to click the above link, which will start Windows
Setup with the .msi file, and install your Windows Service.

Note: the .msi file is output from the Setup Project.

Hope this helps

Jay,

I would also like to redistribute the .NET framework. I was attempting to
put a setup together with a Bootstrapper. But because there is an
accompanying settings file, I was not sure how to do this on a web page.

Have you experienced this before?

Thanks,
Brent

Brent,
To the best of my knowledge the Bootstrapper is for CD-ROM distribution not
Web Page.

I would suggest two links on the page 1. Framework, 2. Windows Service.

Of course I would also include detailed instructions on what to do with the
above 2 links...

Hope this helps
Jay
