isual Studio setup projects provide a quick and easy way for end-users to deploy your application, whether it is a Web site, Windows NT service, smart client, or Web service. Even though the .NET framework introduced the idea of "xcopy deployment," for many projects it is useful (or expected) that you automate all the tasks required by your installation procedure, thus ensuring the consistency and repeatability of the installation process. When you do that, system administrators and end users gain the ability to perform the installation process without technical assistance—and you avoid the need to provide detailed end-user documentation on the process.A standard Visual Studio setup project can copy files and create directories on the target file system, create start menus, and create registry entries. If you need to do more, you may need to implement custom actions.
