.NET web project deployment?

[Score1000]

Please somebody tell me how can I deploy a web project by using "Websetup project" in VS .net to create a .msi file?

my solution structure is like:
business facad
business rules
...
datastore
web

I tried it by adding the project outputs (primary output+source+content) for just the Web project but it failed (it couldn't be built with this error: an unrecoverable build error). should I add those files fo other projects as well??
I also use sql databases with my project.
please help me.
thanks

Well, if you're looking at packaging a project _with_ a SQL server I *think* you might run into some licensing issues .

When I'm getting ready to publish a web project, all I do is:

Project -> Copy Project

In this window, set Web access method as File share (if you have write access to the destination dir), and Copy as "Only files needed to run this application".

Once the copy is complete, either distribute as-is or zip it up for distribution. The files that will be distributed are the .aspx pages and the needed .dll's to run your page. None of the source code will be distributed (unless, of course you are not using the code-behind functionality of .net).

- Hope this helps

I get an error when I do what you said. How is this done?

It tells me that it's not a valid path.

Does the url and the path need to be the same? Tried that. This sucks.
