I have a customer who is being dogged pretty hard by SOX auditors regarding the deployment practices of our ASP.NET applications. Care is taken to be sure to use appropriate file- and folder-level security and authorization. Only those few with deployment privileges can copy an up to the product server (typically done using secure FTP). ...
I have multiple Visual Studio 2003 Deployment projects that include the primary output of another project. One of the differences in the Deployment projects is that they use different primary output settings properties. These settings get copied to a PrimaryProjectName.exe.config file when I build the primary project, so currently my bui...
I maintain a cross platform application, based on PyQt that runs on linux mac and windows. The windows and mac versions are distributed using py2exe and py2app, which produces quite large bundles (~40 MB). I would like to add an "auto update" functionality, based on patches to limit downloads size: check for new versions on an http s...
I'm using Package & Deployment Wizard to package a VB6 project. However, I recently have added a third party library that depends on a directory of XML data files.

Can I simply change the connection string to point from my Test DB to my Production DB when I go live with my website and DAL generated via Subsonic?

I'm about to deploy a Django application on a nginx web server, and want to make sure I'm building the system correctly. It seems to be common wisdom that if you are deploying Django on an apache server, then you should still put an nginx server in front of the application to serve static files, at which nginx is more performant. If in...
I ask this for deployable reasons. As in, if I write a solution in python, I feel bound to write to 2.x due to the lack of adoption of python 3. This is a major daily concern of mine, and I want to figure out what's going on. For many of the python-based questions here, people are giving solutions that simply do not work in python 3.x. ...
I am working on a relatively simple program in VB.NET. I am trying to make the installation process as simple as possible for the user.

For example, if the user does not have .NET on their machin...

It tries to drop functions that are already referenced (e.g. in a check constraint), rather than just adding the new ones and updating the existing ones, so the deployment always fails. As a result, I'm writing my own code to update the assembly and add/update any functi...

I am about to add a whole bunch of files throughout the structure and there is quite a lot of redundancy in the elements.xml and feature.xml files. Has anyone done the work to assist in the cre...

With .Net 3.5 SP1 it is no longer required to sign ClickOnce manifest files. We've incorporated MageUI into our deployment process and would like to deploy some unsigned applications.
