Setup and Deployment

[Steve]

Does anyone know where I could find a walkthrough on setup and deployment.
I want to distribute an application I wrote. I want it to have a liscense
agreement show up during the istallation. I am knew to vb.net so I hope I
am asking the question right. I have seen the one in microsoft's knowledge
base but I was wondering if there were any others.

thanks

Steve,

Maybe they are a little bit ashame at microsoft about this pages because
they are always hard to find.

In my opinion not the best walkthroughs, however by not blaiming the
guys/girls who made it, it seems for me always if deployment is the
stephchild in the IDE although they made it nice.

I hope this helps?

Hey Steve,

Re Deployment, it can be a bit tricky, but it actually is not. It
requires some patience and research, thanks to MS guys/galls who made
all documentation on that bit scriptic and scratched only the surface
in their explanations.

Anyways, some resources I used and I found them quite helpful

1) Effective Visual Studio .NET book ISBN 1-861006-96-9

Following articles were very useful :

2) Deployment Custom Actions
3) Registry Search
4) Deployment's Project File Search

Unfortunatelly I don't have URLs but google the titles above and you
will get it
