Deploying VSTO 2005 Solutions with Windows Installer

One of my peers, Darryn Lavery, has published the most comprehensive treatment of VSTO 2005 solution deployment that will probably ever be written. Wondering how to lay down .NET Framework bits with your solution? Want to know how to do custom operations with your solution deployment? How in the heck do you plug some CASPOL config into your deployment so that .NET security is ready to go for your users?

This two part paper answers these questions and more:

Rock Thought for the Day: I had more back surgery yesterday, and I am so sore right now I could scream. But, these words from Billy Corgan's "Once upon a time" come to my mind and I drag my thoughts in caravan through another day:

Mother I'm tired
Come surrender my son
Time has ravaged on my soul
No plans to leave but still I go
Falling with the leaves
Falling out of sleep
To the last goodbyes
Who cares why?

Rock On
