What's the tool to use to deploy web-based apps?

Hi there,

What's a great tool to use to deploy n-tier web-based apps? I'm thinking in
terms of an installer that produces a package that a client can run that
will set up one or more IIS sites, copy files to an NTFS partition and set
permissions, create an application and install COM objects in Component
Services, attach (or script the creation and population of) a SQL Server
2000 database, etc.

I'm currently using ASP, IIS 5.0, SQL Server 2000 and VS 6.0 but am about to
take the plunge into .NET for new development. What are the tools that I
should be looking at?

Regards,

Alan

Go to your favorite search engine and search for "software installers".

We use Installshield but it may or may not be the best choice for what you
desire.
