Create a web project Installer

Most of the time, we use the xcopy deployment method for web programs, which is prone to errors when there are many tasks, at this time, we can create a web project installer to help us solve many details.

Microsoft Visual Studio can create installation programs perfectly.

The procedure is as follows:

Step 1: Open the project for which you want to create an installer

Step 2: Add a new project to the solution

[Solution] --> [add] --> [new project] --> [other project types] --> [installation and deployment] --> [Visual Studio installer] --> [Web installation Project --> [installer name] --> [OK]

Step 3: Add project output

[Web application folder] --> [add] --> [project output] --> [add project output group] --> [content file] --> [OK]

Step 4: Configure attributes

[Solution Resource Manager] --> [web installation project] --> [properties]

Finally: generate

[Solution Resource Manager] --> [web installation project] --> [generate]

In this way, you can successfully create a web project installer.
