Need complete documentation on how to use Web Setup Project

Hi All,

I have a website created as part of my product and hosted in IIS (Dev PC). Now i would like to deploy the contents to a new PC using a auto deployment process (right from copying the contents after building the project to creating a Virtual Directory and poiting to it). With respect to this i thought of using the Web Setup project avaialble in VS IDE. But i don't know how to use this project to make auto deployment. Is there any document available explaining each steps with respect to auto deployment? If so please share it.

Also please suggest me is there any other tool available in microsoft to make the auto deployment process?

TIA

Cheers

Hello, Jithendrian
There are mainly two articals talking about how to use Web Setup. They are showed in below links.
How to Create a Web Setup for Your Published Web Service
Deployment of a Web Setup Project
Hope this could help.
If the two links can not satisfy you, you'd better post your question to the Setup and ClickOnce forum, for that is the right forum for setup project.
Thanks
