Install Team Deploy with New MSI

Last week I added a MSI for installing Team Deploy.   I am excited about this because this simplifies the installation process.  Simply run the MSI and it installs all of the components for Team Deploy.  Team Deploy still requires the separate download and installation of PSTools.   Also, if you have an older version of PSTools, download the latest version to help ensure it works with the latest version of Team Deploy.

Here is the listing of installed files with the MSI.

I have also included a “real world” type deploy script and TFSBuild.proj file based on some great feedback I have received.  These should show some good examples of how to use it.

As always you can find Team Deploy at http://teamdeploy.codeplex.com.

Hello Mike,

I do work using TS 2008 and currently looking for a solution to deploy an application on client PCs. Does Team Deploy allow to distribute TS Build output (set of files (assemblies, config etc)) to client computers?

Thanks,
Oleg.

Hi Oleg,

Yes, this is exactly what Team Deploy does. It does require that the set of assemblies and the config file be packaged into a MSI. If you want the MSI to contain different config files for different environments, it supports this also. You can deploy the MSI to all of your client pcs by specifying the machine names in the deploy xml file. See my Guidance and Installation document on http://teamdeploy.codeplex.com/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=26516 for more information. If you have any questions about this please let me konw.

Thanks,
Mike
