INFO: Some Editions of Visual InterDev Omit Deployment Feature (276211)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Visual InterDev 6.0
  • Microsoft Visual Studio, Enterprise Edition 6.0
  • Microsoft Visual Studio, Professional Edition 6.0
This article was previously published under Q276211

SUMMARY

If Visual Interdev 6.0 is installed as part of Visual Studio 6.0 Enterprise Edition, it contains a Deployment feature that enables complete Web applications to be deployed directly to a remote Web server. The stand-alone version of Visual Interdev, and the version that is included with Visual Studio 6.0 Professional Edition, do not offer this Deployment feature. To deploy your applications with these editions of Visual Interdev, you can use the Copy Web Application feature.

MORE INFORMATION

The Deployment feature offers the following advantages:
  • The Web application can be deployed to any folder on the remote server.
  • It can use the Microsoft Posting Acceptor to deploy a Web application without requiring Microsoft FrontPage Server Extensions.
If these advantages make the Deployment feature desirable in a given situation, you must upgrade to Visual Studio 6.0 Enterprise Edition.
