So. I've developed a WCF IIS application and am getting really tired of deploying the web application by hand.
I know the web application setup provided by MS only installs to virtual directories, and I need something a little more flexible. I also want to be able to (if possible) not only create the web app in iis, also set advanced iis settings and create the app pool and configure identity.
As you already know, its 2010, so I was wondering is it possible for me to accomplish this deployment effort using Microsoft technologies, or do you think I would need to step up with creating custom installers or buying 3rd party applications.
I am also impartial to an open source solution, but the open source installers I've already tried, aren't designed purely for a .net environment, and are hard to use.
