What are the different ways of installing a WebSite/Application? One way is using WebSetup Project adding that application. Is there any way which can programmitically do that? Also please let me know how can we use AssemblyInstaller class?

I think web deploy might be what you need?

From The Gu: "Microsoft Web Deploy – which is a free server technology that enables a comprehensive publishing and deployment mechanism. Web Deploy enables you to not only publish files – but also provision database schema/data, run database change scripts, set security ACLs, and more. All of these deployment steps can be automated using Visual Studio."

  • in all my experiences with WebDeploy (unless it changed in 2.0) you needed to have the website created prior to publishing your site – Anthony Shaw Nov 01 '11 at 15:34
  • Good point Anthony, I think you are right there. Perhaps a two stage process with Powershell first [ http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/433/powershell-snap-in-creating-web-sites-web-applications-virtual-directories-and-application-pools/ ] then webdeploy will provide a more complete solution. – Neil Thompson Nov 03 '11 at 10:37
