Hi,
Has anyone deployed an application using 2005 yet? I know that you could download the 2003 .net Bootstrapper when you use VS 2003 .Net but what about 2005? I searched msdn downloads and only saw VS 2003 .NET Bootstrapper. Does this work with 2005 also? I have searched the forums but it seemed as though when people were talking about bootstrapper, they were also talking about .net 2003.
Thanks!
VS 2005 bootstrapper is built in to the installation packages from what I understand. I know it is with the "Published" installs with 2005 Express
What about 2005 Professional?
Well I assume it is automatic as well. I would just build a setup project and then try to install it on a computer that doesn't have 2.0. See what happens?
Just use Publish. I believe it'll work the same as the one with Express but include more features
The Express editions support only ClickOnce deployment. VS 2005 Pro supports ClickOnce and full setup projects. If VS Pro has a Publish feature then I'd imagine that that is for ClickOnce deployment, and you'd need to create a project as in 2003 for regular deployment. Either way, you can bootstrap the Framework and other components.
