Great post Chris.

Is this the recommended way to deploy webparts now? I was going to create an MSI to handle installing to GAC and updating web.config, but this seems to take care of all that already. Would this also enable the webpart in the gallery or does the user still have to manually do that per site?

Also, what if my Solution Management screen has nothing in it? I don't see the toolbar on my page that is visible in your screenshot? Take a look at this screenshot: http://blogs.vertigosoftware.com/photos/ericc/images/3599/original.aspx

Thanks.

Hi Eric,

Sorry i had a mistake in my post. Please see the [updated] section. Sorry.

Yes, this is the prefered method for deployment of web parts as it has many more capabilities than the web part packaging method of deployment. The old method will still work however :)

How do we deploy to the ISAPI folder for web services?? Does this method provide us with a way to deploy web services ??

Hi Adrian,

Your best bet for deploying web services is to deploy to the _layouts directory. That is if you want the web service to be like the other web services that are available under each site. e.g. http://server/sites/sitename/_layouts/MyApp/MyWebServices.asmx I have used this in the past quite a bit. If you do the above then it is a seperate web application that you are deploying so you will need to go into IISManager and make it a web application under the _Layouts directory. This means you wont be able to deploy a web service like this with teh solution deployment packages.

Hi Hugo,

DWP files need to be deployed into the web part gallery of the site collection you want them to show up in. You can do this using the site siettings page, or you can add the DWP file to your site template & in ONET add it as a file that gets deployed into the web part gallery.

We have the need to deploy .cab files to the server via our solution deployment. However, when doing so we get an error: "Failed to extract the cab file in the solution."

I've traced this down to specifically having a .cab file in the solution.

Is there a way to work-around this problem and just have these files deployed as any other files in the solution?

Help! We have created and deployed a site with a custom list. Users have entered data into the list. Versions of the items (very important) have been created. We now need to make changes to the list (more importantly it's editform, newform, etc) How do we do this and keep the list data, and the item versions intact on the production server?

I'm trying to work out if it's possible to use the Solution deployment to deploy a shared DLL to that GAC that is contained in 2 different Solution packages? The deployment itself seams to work just fine for both, but if you retract one of the two solutions, then it removes the shared DLL from the GAC - not good:)

Thanks.
