Microsoft, Sharepoint 2007, 2007, Deploying MOSS web application in the form of installer package
I have a Sharepoint 2007 web application. This web application has a lot of custom features,user controls deployed using smart part and also the web page is formatted using Sharepoint Designer 2007.
Now i want to deploy this web application template in another machine. This new machine has MOSS installed on it.
Following is required:
1. All the custom features, user controls and other customization in the web application should be available in the form of template.
2. All the copying of features and custom controls should be done from a MSI Installer package. I should run the installer and the template will be deployed on any web application in the new machine.
I searched the net but couldn't find any pointers. Any help would be highly appreciated.
Well you should be using Sharepoint's Solution Deployment technology. Manual deployment of any customization is dangerous because for example, the customization isn't included in backups.
Download the Sharepoint SDK from Microsoft and read about deploying solutions.
