Deployment methods in VS 2008 Standard

MS
Excuse the cross-posting, please but no response in "Setup".
When I was using VS 2003, there was a setup project template available. In
2008 Standard, no such template. According to Wikipedia which sources
Microsoft, Standard edition does not have setup projects, only "one-touch"
(not that I can find that either). First question is whether I can do a
setup project with VS '08 standard then where do I get a tutorial on
"one-touch"? Any help is much appreciated.

Per this link,

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/vs2...#divBasicTools

standard should include setup templates. I haven't heard the term
one-touch, but rather ClickOnce. Search for that term for a walkthrough. I
understand it is easy, but has not fit our requirements.

You want to look at ClickOnce. There was a previous technology, which was
not as full featured, in Visual Studio 2003. The previous technology was
called "No touch", not "One touch", although your naming fits the workings
of the technology better.

Examine ClickOnce with Visual Studio 2008 and you should find it fits your
needs.

I used to use the Web Deployment Project with my VS2005 projects. Now I've fully upgraded to VS2008. Do I have to download a new version of the Web Deployment Project? If so where can I find it? If not, how do I have to change my deployment strategy? Thanks!

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...

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,...
