What is the advantage of packaging over xcopy in .NET?
The most trivial technique to publish a website is to simply copy your web
application files to the production server and create a virtual directory there
through xcopy command. With packaging it creates a self executable MSI which is
very easy and convenient to deploy and install. This allows the end users to
install a web application with ease. You could also include custom license
needs, agreements, registry entries and other custom tasks such as installation
folder etc for ease of the end users. The MSI can also be rolled out to many
computers at once by the administrator which is a very big advantage.
