Differential deployment

[Saverio Tedeschi]

Hi all gurus,
AFAIK every time I've to distribute a minor change in my VS app, I've
to deploy the entire .msi package, even for very little correction. As
far as YOU know, is there any tool (such as Linux diff) to deploy only
differences? TIA

Not that I know of. If you design multi-tiered, you can tell the config to
use newer versions of your business layer assemblies. You can set up a
bootstrap type program to look for changes and auto-download.
