deployment problems

[hinchdog]

I want to put my first program on my website so it can be downloaded. I was trying to use the package and deployment wizard to do this but using the FTP method but it keeps timing out on me. Also, what if i want to zip the file to save space. Do I have to wait until the .exe is deployed then zip it? I would appreciate any advice.

I ZIP Setup.exe setup.lst and app.cab on my machine. I then use Front Page to Import it to my Web where the directory permissions are set to NONE so that users can use http:// download rather than FTP. If the directory has Execute permissions then the Web may try to execute instead of download.

I think you should create your EXE then launch the package and deployment wizzard. Choose the Package option. After you have finished the wizzard. Find your file and Zip it up with winzip and then upload it to your site.
