Deployment help needed

I have a project to create a single click deployment program. Preferably an
ASP.NET application that lists all server sites (development, release
candidate etc) and each entry will have a deploy button. The code will build
and deploy the solution. Any ideas?

So far I have come up with devenv /rebuild to build the entire solution, but
I am looking for ways of automatically sending the files (preferably with an
msi for speed) to a server and have it auto install.

There is nothing in place at present so I am free to implement anything that
is needed, I was thinking probably an XML file to keep information about the
servers and there type (including info about the solution held in source safe
that represents the solution to be deployed to the server). Which leads on to
another thing, how do I read from source safe the latest version in code?

Any ideas as to how to proceed would be gratefully received.

Recently i tested an application i was developing on another P.C. with the same harware. It was a new P.C. though and did not have the .NET framework installed on it, so i first installed Dotnetfx.exe. When i ran my application i got a few errors about libraries and J-I-T Debugging. Also, registry functions and such did not work. I searched the MSDNKB and google :) and still couldn't find anything that explained how i would go about...

Hi, Can someone please tell me what is exactly zero deployment in VB.NET. Is it that .NET doesn't need to deal with the registry? If that is the case, then why MS introduced class registry? MTIA, Grawsha

I have looked and looked for on the property pages for my Window form project and do not see where they are saying I should find the place to set deployment properties like: Manufacturer ManufacturerUrl ARPURLINFOABOUT URL for an application's home page. ARPURLUPDATEINFO URL for application-update info. Where are they hiding?

I need to have multiple deployment profiles for a .net 2.0 winforms project. This is my requirement: 1) Re-use same project for multiple ClickOnce deployment profiles. 2) Each profile will have it's own custom deployment properties such as Publish Version Number, Start Menu and application Name in start menu. For example, in the past (before ClickOnce deployment) I had to build Setup.exe files and distribute them to various...

First off, if this is better posted in another group that qualifies as a manged group, please let me know. I currently have an application written in VB.Net using MSDE as the database. Current install is via InstallShield. As I've just found out that MSDE is not supported under Vista, I need to migrate to SQLExpress. I am also potentially interested in migrating to using an installer built in Visual Studio. I have a few questions:

On reflection, you could possibly make the app a self extracting zip file which extracts the EXE and a settings file and then starts the app, then when you app closes, it can repack the settings file and itself into the exe. You would probably want a tool for this bit which could be in the zip too. So the app isnt single exe when running but when not running, it is. Just an idea for you to think about. Another option would possibly be to...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
