Xcopy or Msi or Copy Project

Have built a web site application based on IBuySpy on a development machine. Would like to deploy the site to production. Have Visual Studio 2003 Enterprise so Web Applicaiton installer is available. This site will only be going to one production web server. Have seen where the installer is for clients rather than for servers. What is the general recommendation for "smoothly" moving the application over to production?

msdixon: Shared hosting account? This web site will be deployed to a server that is maintained by another group. They have provided me with a shared drive to copy my files to .... So would the list of possibilties be xcopy and copy?

By the way, there is another question that has been posted regarding msi packages.... Maybe one of you can answer the question why the images folder created an error....

Thanxs,

what i mean by "shared hosting account" is this:
if you signed up for web hosting and selected the shared server option (whatever their verbiage is), you won't have access to run the msi package, so you'll have to just copy it.
