To deploy a Windows application to the .NET environment

You can either use a setup file to deliver your application to customers or copy the application files directly.

When creating a setup file, you can use tool such as the WiX Toolset (either as a standalone application or an add-in for Visual Studio) or Microsoft's InstallShield Limited Edition to package. For example, here's how you would use InstallShield Limited Edition:

  1. Install Microsoft's Visual Studio and InstallShield Limited Edition. See the MSDN for more details.
  2. Start Visual Studio.
  3. Click File > New > Project.
  4. Expand Other Project Types and choose Setup and Deployment.
  5. Select the InstallShield project type and click OK to create the project.
  6. Follow the instructions in the project in order to create the project. See the Visual Studio Help for details.

If you are deploying your application without a setup file:

  1. Use the Xcopy command (which copies a directory structure) to copy your application files from the project output directory to the directory containing your Micro Focus Enterprise Server installation.
