What is the solution? Is there a wa...

I know this can be done via command line, like so: msiexec.exe /i foo.msi REINSTALLMODE=amus However, if a user chooses to click the msi directly (launching the wizard), the property is not pas...
The software system I work on is a medical billing system, large amounts of data and data tables, and stored procedures. I was reading the article "12 Steps to Better Code" and in The Joel Test #2 states: Can you make a build in one step?

It seems to me that running directly from a DVCS clone has several advantages: No need to transport the entire codebase on every deployment. Trivial to update code to any desi...

I'm trying to do a quick and dirty deployment of a project. I thought it would be easy to run my process, use some tool to grab a list of all loaded files (DLLs) and use that list to create a copy file list for my test deployment.
