.NET APPLICATION PROGRAMMING INTERFACE
c. The final steps involve associating the custom installation steps configured
in the new installer class with the setup project. To do this, right-click the
setup project in the Solution Explorer and click View Custom Actions.
d. In the resulting view, right-click the Install folder and click Add Custom
Action. Double-click the Application folder, then double-click the Primary
output from the item. This step associates the
custom install function created earlier with the setup’s custom install action.
e. Repeat the last step for the setup’s uninstall.
3. Finally, rebuild the entire solution to generate the setup executable file. Running
the executable on a target machine installs the components and registers
them with COM. The COMRegisterFunction routines then register the components
in the appropriate component categories.
ArcGIS Server deployments
To deploy Web applications developed on a development server to product
production servers, use the built-in Visual Studio .NET tools.
1. In the Solution Explorer, click your project.
2. Click the Project menu, then click Copy Project.
3. In the Copy Project dialog box, specify the deployment location.
4. Click OK.
In addition to copying the project, you must copy and register any related DLLs
containing custom COM objects onto your Web server and all the GIS server’s
server object container (SOC) machines.
