Chapter 14 -- Deploying Desktop Applications

Chapter 14

About This Chapter

After your application is debugged, one task remains: deploying to users. Not as simple a task as you might imagine, deployment requires thought and planning.

In this chapter, you will learn some of the ways a Windows application created with Microsoft Visual C++ can be efficiently deployed. This chapter first presents an overview of deployment methods. You will learn how to use InstallShield, a tool that nearly completely automates the creation of installation programs for Visual C++ projects. You will also learn how installation programs install ActiveX controls and other COM components, and how the Microsoft Zero Administration for Windows (ZAW) initiative will affect program installation in the future.
