Setup project and IIS

Question

I am creating a new Setup project using Visual Studio 2010.

I have an existing application which has a few .aspx files along with few other directories. The application has lots of other non-ASP.Net files such as exes and dll's.

I am not quite sure whether I should create a "Web" setup project or create a simple setup project instead?

I am looking for some advice on this.

Any kind of inputs are appreciated!

Thanks.

Answer 1

Be aware that those project types were removed in VS2012. Assuming you want to invest in this technology at all, the "Web" setup project handles IIS configuration. The "Setup" project is just file copying.

My input would be to go directly to Windows Installer XML or InstallShield Limited Edition.
