It really depends on the situation. For some situations, using Visual Studio's publish feature (right click project) works great. However in some situations, particular larger organizations or environments where the infrastructure group and development team are a little more isolated, you need to use a Web Application Installer or an MSI package. I've also had instances where the easiest thing to do was create a simple .bat file and create an external command in Visual Studio.

If you need a third person to deploy your application in production servers, I would suggest you to deploy using a MSI, it would also help you to version your release.

MSI can be created using various ways including but not limited to

  • Deployment projects in VS studio
  • WixGen
  • Click once
