What is the function of the Setup and Deployment option in Visual Basic .NET?
Setup and Deployment projects is a new project type in VB .NET that allows you to create Windows installers or CAB files to distribute your applications. The process of using the Setup and Deployment Projects option to create installers is easiest when you have used a Visual Basic 6.0 setup project to create installers without making any customizations to the resulting installer. For simple projects that require no customization in deployment, you need only indicate the executable files and the product name in the deployment project. However, if your original project’s installer required customization, such as adding additional dialog boxes or changing standard dialog text, then you will need to perform similar customization when you use Setup and Deployment Projects.
