I know enough to know that we need to get our application to deploy with a single user action. However, I don't know: What are some good tools to use in a .NET shop? How do you manage config changes for each of your environments? Can someone point me to some good resources for continous integration. I'd like to see some theory as wel...
Capistrano is a great solution for building scripts that automatically deploy a website and/or a database. But, it's also very *nix centric, and from I've read it would probably be more trouble than it's worth to get it working with a Windows server. Is there a similar solution that would allow me to deploy an ASP.Net website to an IIS s...
I'm working in a small company and weeks away from deploying a web-app that will be used a lot. Everyone at one location will have to learn to use it, and although I think it's pretty easy and intuitive I may be biased. I've written a help guide with plenty of screenshots that's available on every page, but I'll still need to train ever...
Hi, I created the setup project for the application and I can see that the later modifications of the configuration file (Application.exe.config) don't affect the application execution. I am developing an application with the database file included and I want to enable users to move the database file and modify connection strings. Doe...
So, I now know what to save from nightly builds. What about when I give something to customers? For example, I probably want to save debugging information (e.g. PDB). What else? ...
I am using a 3rd party API which is defined in 2 DLLs. I have included those DLLs in my project and set references to them. So far so good. However, these DLLs have at least one dependent DLL which cannot be found at runtime. I copied the missing DLL into the project and set the 'Copy to output' flag but without success. What should I...
Hi! We have a situation where a C# application is working with SQL CE 3.5 . To allow for a legacy program to use some of its features we have produced a C++ dll which uses interop to extract the info that it needs from the C# program. For this to work, the C#-program needs to access the database. Its not a very complex scenario. When t...
Besides the Android Marketplace, what are my options as far as deploying an Android application to someone remotely? The particular issues I am up against are that I have an application which I have written which addresses a somewhat limited problem, for my sister. She is mostly computer literate, but not a developer and lives hours aw...
Does anyone have any suggestions for a good approach to finding all the CPAN dependencies that might have arisen in a bespoke development project. As tends to be the case your local development environment rarely matches your live one and as you build more and more projects you tend to build up a local library of installed modules. These...
Is there anything built into Windows and the .Net framework for programmatically installing and executing applications remotely? Ie: an API for remote software deployment. I'd like to build a tool that can install services on a pool of new computers from one central admin workstation. Update: The computers are part of an internal IT net...
I've been trying to follow the information from: Long URL clipped to stop breaking the page and http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms415817.aspx Which more or less have the same instructions. I've been copying the .dll file from the build over to the BIN directory of the Sharepoint site. When I click the Web Part Gallery and h...
Prefer responses via php or ROR if possible! Example: The slide widget at www.slide.com can be deployed anywhere on the web. But the slide developers have centralized edit capabilities to these widgets. A change to the widget core, will update across all installed widgets. Can this be done with an entire website engin...
We use ASP.NET / C#. We work locally, test locally, check in our code and binaries through SVN. On our server, we checkout the latest 'build' from SVN directly into our IIS web directory. Is this a good practice, or is there something else we should be doing for rollouts? ...
I have a java app that works with an EJB, however if: The EJB gets updated, the app is broken. The app server is updated, the app is broken. Without human involvement, is there a preferred method to update the client jars for the app server and bean? If there preferred method depends on the app server, then assume jboss. ...
Does anybody know of a Windows FTP client with SOCKS support? I need it to build a deployment script... I tried Filezilla but its command-line support seems quite poor, I need something completely non-interactive. ...
I have a custom application with a simple app.config specifying SQL Server name and Database, I want to prompt the user on application install for application configuration items and then update the app.config file. I admit I'm totally new to setup projects and am looking for some guidance. Thank You Mark Koops ...
I have been maintaining an installation for a while but I am not really an expert. now I've been asked to come up with a solution for this: Our software is always sold together with a computer as it has to be run in a very controlled environment. The installer needs administrative privileges to be executed. So far we had two different u...
Hello, this is probably a newbie ruby question. I have several libraries and apps that I need to deploy to several different hosts. All of the apps and libs will share some common settings for those hosts-- e.g. host name, database server/user/pass, etc. My goal is to do something like: cap host1 stage deploy cap host2 stage deploy cap...
Hi guys, Does anybody know which JSF version is most suitable to use when deploying to SunOne 6.1 SP2 Webserver? More important where I can find that type of information? Thanks, Alejo ...
All of the various postings, when speaking of Setup projects in vs2005, simply say "the properties are there" and/or "In Studio, I just click on the project name in the Explorer and I get the property window typical to other projects, and it's right there." BUT I DON'T!! I get a very limited list of properties (Output file name, Packag...
