What is the best way to deploy a web application?

[dyw55a]

Hi,
Do you know what is the best way to deploy a asp.net web
application? XCOPY, Using the copy project option in VS.NET or
deployment using VS.NET installer? Any concerns, issuese for different
deployment method? Any points that I need pay attention to?

Thanks in advanced,
Di

Just a XCopy works.
But you must ensure the following:
- Proper application creation
- Due authentication management at IIS level
- File permissions (if on NTFS)

Considering all this, using a MSI installer is one of the best options
that I've seen. Try using InstallShield
