Deployment Options

[Steve Bishop]

I'm interested in deploying a .Net application from a CD ROM or as a
download from my Web site. There are some robust installers out there
like the Wise install system.

Is there any known good free or low cost to license install systems that
would do this?

Also, If I want to include a database in my app, could I use an Access
database even if the destination server does not have MS Access
application installed? Help appreciated.
Thanks

Use Setup project that is a part of Visual Studio .Net.

You can't use an Access db without database components that come with
Access. Either full or run-time version of Access needs to be installed. If
you have the MS Office development version, you can deploy Access run-time
files with your database.
