I have web form aplication in asp.net and i have to create (has to be easy to install)complex instalator, witch will install IIS server, deploy the app to it create a local database and sets everything up. So the user will just complete installation and then will just run the aplication with out and other setting(or as little as posible).
I have no idea what to use or if it is even posible. Coudl you help me with what to use and how to create such instalation?
Thanks.
In my opinion, you could try to use some extenstion tool to achieve your requirement.
Like Professional edition of Advanced Installer.
It support:
IIS web sites, app pools, web apps and virtual directories
Install windows features without writing any scripting
I want to use the Symfony web server for local development, but I'm surprised that Symfony actually comes with two servers:
the Symfony local web server - started with symfony server:start
the Web Server Bundle - started with bin/console server:start
I find it very confusing to have these 2 options, as the docs do not seem to give you any hint as to why you should use one over the other and under which circumstances.
As far as I can see, it looks like the Web Server Bundle (bin/console server:start):
is just a wrapper around PHP's built-in web server
is installed using Composer
while the Symfony local web server (symfony server:start):
is a full-fledged web server
must be installed as standalone (as part of the symfony command)
Still, I can hardly understand why they do release these 2 options. At first glance it looks like the Symfony local web server is more powerful; in this case why would they release the webserver bundle as well?
As mentioned in the Web Server Bundle docs:
Deprecated since version 4.4: This article explains how to use the WebServerBundle to run Symfony applications on your local computer. However, that bundle is deprecated since Symfony 4.4 and will be removed in Symfony 5.0.
Instead of using WebServerBundle, the preferred way to run your Symfony applications locally is to use the Symfony Local Web Server.
So the recommended way is to use symfony server:start to serve an app in development.

I'm trying to create an installer for an ASP.NET MVC Application. The installer will deploy the site to a user's local IIS and set up connection to database and create database and tables if it doesn't exist.
I'm using the Web Setup Project for this. So far I was able to create the installer that will deploy the site to the IIS. Now I'm looking for a way to set the connections and create database. Are there any sources or recommendations on how to do this?
I also looked at the WiX Toolset for this and couldn't really figure out how to do it. Sources for either one would help
I want to create .NET setup project such that it can install desktop application and after that Host website on IIS . the setup will be used in the hosting server
is it applicable in .NET if yes how to do that , and can I change IIS settings
You can start with a Visual Studio Web Setup Project or try a different setup authoring tool which supports IIS.
After you decide on a setup tool, try to configure your installer the way you want. If you encounter problems, try asking more specific questions.
I am looking for some ideas on how to offer a installation package for my ASP.NET website. Some things I need to be able to do is read/write Registry keys, get the database(s) information and test the connection and I must be able to overwrite the existing website without an uninstall and update the web config on new versions. I do not wish to uninstall the website and re-install it. I would like minimum downtime on upgrades. I think I am going to have to implement a custom solution and if this is true how can i include all the output of my web application into my custom solution?
EDIT: I am not installing this on my own system(s). This is for distribution to other clients who will be installing/upgrading the website. It is important that I be able to upgrade to the latest asp.net website without uninstalling. Ideally it would be overwriting the existing site and updating the web.config file.
Option 1. Create web application installation package
Use Web Setup Project for creating a web application installation package (.msi)
Creating or Adding a Setup Project at MSDN
You can create your installation the way it will offer user an Upgrate option of your application if it's already installed on his or her machine. That's not a problem.
Alternatives to Web Setup Project (all of them can handle upgrade scenarios):
Wise Installation Studio
InstallShield
Nullsoft Scriptable Install System - this one is free and open source
Optoin 2. Deploy web application on the server
You can use NAnt or MSBuild or IIS Web Deployment Tool for these tasks automation.
For example with NAnt of MSBuild you could specify tasks like these:
get project files from source repository
update .config file and maybe some other files if needed
compile you web application
update registry settings on the server
update database schema on the server
synchronize files (x-copy) between you build folder to IIS web folder
Web Deployment Blog
Option 3. Distribute your web applications via Web Plafrom Installer.

Have you looked into Web Deployment Projects or the IIS Web Deployment Tool?
I think you can build asp.net application into .msi package and install it. Is that what you are looking for? And then you can build all of your customization into pre-deployment and post-deployment scripts.
I use NAnt and NSIS with some small console apps where they can't easily do some manipulations I require.
Do you tried the new Microsoft Web Platform Installer (new! 2.0 beta)?
