Tim,
>On that note, do you have an opinion or preference between the VS deployment and InstallShield? In our environment we are not creating deployment packages for commercial release, just for deploying our in-house developed applications within the enterprise. That said we will be deploying to a fairly large number of workstations spread out across several locations.
I've always used VS deployment--it can be a little flakey, but once you know how to get around its few "nits" the deployment works well. I haven't played with InstallShield recently, but it's always been a solid package.
