Can some point me to a webpage or recommend a book for me about the .net deployment.

The problem i'm having is the windows installer package isn't being created when I go through the deployment process. I tried using the wizard, but i'm not familar with all the setup options.

The solution i'm using contains 2 projects and some .xml files. I can create deployments with simple projects, but this one is more complex. I'm pretty sure I'm not setting up the deployment correctly. All the examples i've found are for simple projects. I need something more in depth.
 
Simple,
Open the File System by Right Clicking the Setup project and select View ->File System.
Right Clikk in the application folder where you will deplpy all your applicaion files, Then right click and add Output.
In the output window you will have the project name in the combo box.
Select the appropriate project(in which you have your XML files) and select the Content Files in the List box below.
This will add the Content of that Project in the that folder. You can have that in any specific folder you want.
Just remember that you set the Build type of your XML files as Content....
As for the book, i'll let you know when i have one ;)
