Web Setup Project

[dev648237923]

I create a simple web application project.
I then add a Web Setup project to the solution
In the Web Setup project I only add Primary and Content files from my web
app project. I do not opt to add Source files.
When I run the .msi it installs fine but the aspx source files are there
with all their html code. What I want to do is have the files only have
place markers like when you do Publish that doesn't allow the site to be
Updateable (then the aspx files just say: "This is a marker file generated
by the precompilation tool, and should not be deleted!").
Is this possible?

Thank you!

One piece of advice, don't use MSI deployment for webprojects...!!
Rigth click your webproject in VS and choose: "Publish WebSite..."...

Hi,

The recommended way is to first use the Web Deployment Project (WDP) add-on
to precompile your website and then create a Web Setup Project to pipe in
the output from the WDP output:
