    How do I create setup & deployment for n-tier multi-project soln?

    Need to build complete deployment package for a multi-project enterprise soln
    consisting of 3 web apps, 20+ web services, 2 windows services, 61 component
    dll's and 4 databases.
    Everything except the databases are in one Build Solution.
    Project Output must be structured into unified Application Space with
    folders for webs and winservices in order to allow instancing on the
    middleware server.
    MyEnterpise/Instance1
    Services/
    Service1
    Service2
    Webs/
    WebApp1/bin/component dlls
    WebApp2/bin/component dlls
    WebServiceConta iner/*.asmx

    Note: webs do not go to 'Default Web Site' in IIS

    Currently building 3rd generation Install of this product for national
    customer base using Wise 8.0 and in house .net utilities to configure IIS,
    install win services, setup security model etc... This is a kludge and would
    prefer a modular Entreprise Type Install similar to the VSNET Install. How
    can I go about designing and implementing this?

      Hi,

      First of all, I would like to confirm my understanding of your issue. From
      your description, I understand that you need to know how to create
      installation package to deploy your enterprise solution. If there is any
      misunderstandin g, please feel free to let me know.

      It is a hard mission to create setup packages to deploy so many projects.
      Here I have found some walkthoughs and documents on deploying all kinds of
      projects on windows platform. Hope this helps.

      The following link contains all information about deployment. You can find
      what you need from it.

          Kevin,
          I work for a large financial software company. We produce many solutions for
          banks and financial institutions - Windows based Sales and Teller front ends,
          middleware engines, plus back end core systems that run on AS400s. The
          installation I am describing is for the middleware servers in an n-tier
          solution. I am familiar with the hello world examples that are in the links
          you provided. They are not architected for the complexity of a true
          enterprise solution that requires security and network modeling etc. I know
          this is not a cookie cutter type question and I really looking for a more in
          depth response. The look and feel of the VSNet Installation is what we are
          trying to get to.

                  Hi surfdog,

                  I'm sorry but this is only what I can find for setup project. I'm also not
                  quite experienced for setup projects. For setup issues, you can try to post
                  in microsoft.publi c.dotnet.framew ork.setup newsgroup besides posting here.
                  There will be more professionals who can give you more information and
                  suggestions in this aspect. Sorry for the inconvenience. Thanks for your
                  understanding.
