Hi,
I know this thread should be at different section but Iam desperate to know ....

I have developed a windows based application.
Structure of the applcation is given as follows

1. Main form (MDI form) which refers the 6 Dll's that was created using class library project.

I want to create the package and deploy on other system.How do I do it ? Can any one tell me the steps involved ?

Thanks

one way is to use the setup and deployment project available with Visual Studio. otherwise you can go for some commercial packaging software available in the market.

I always thought setup & deployment wizard worked with visual basic projects only...

Visual Interdev can be a good solution, although it is a little trickier to use than the wizard.

Also, I've been under the impression that InstallShield is supposed to be good...

Well, InstallShield DOES suppose to be good and easy to use, but its not.

Installshield that comes with VS is a limited version, if your application has not some special requirement (like install some other components or run another setup inside it) then you can use it, otherwise u'll have to purchase the other versions of InstallShied.

Try Inno Setup Compiler, its good & free. U can create your setup in less then 3 minutes with just a matter of few clicks and can also control it through script.

Other then that NSIS is also good & free too.
