How to publish my MVC 3 web application onto IIS7

if possible I need total from the beginning utter beginner advice on how to get my ASP.Net MVC 3 Razor Visual Studio 10 web application live onto my IIS 7 webserver please?

I've never tried to publish this before, and wondering what I'm missing?

I've clicked "Publish" on Visual Studio Express 10, created a "published" version of the website. I've uploaded it to my webserver, however can't make it load on the net?

Appreciate some guidance please? (not sure how / what default documents work etc...?)

By far the easiest approach is to use Web Application Deployment.

This blog by Scott Gu gives a great intro

http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2010/07/29/vs-2010-web-deployment.aspx

The article talks about web.config transformations (ability to have a .Release and a .Debug version of your web.config). Later, that capability was generalized through an add-on package to work for any XML-structured file in your deployment (for example, I use it with NLog configuration files).
