I have created a deployment project for a project on my development machine
that I would like to serve from my IIS 5.0 static IP address. I used sample
code for creating the project with no problems in following the example, but
the next to last step is to build project. I see two builds available in the
menu: build solution and build deployment.

Both give: 'Unrecoverable build error' on first try and then: 'Cannot remove
output file c:\document and settings\tester1\my documents\visual studio
projects\datatest\websetup2\debug\websetup2.tmp'

and then 'Unrecoverable build error'

Is the deployment software not installed, or ready for usage in the Beta2?

Thanks,

Yes, Beta2 should be able to build the deployment package. I suggest you
can add one deployment project under the same solution with your original
webapplication. For example you have solution1 which contains two projects,
webapplication1 is the ASP.NET project and setup1 is the deployment
project. Then you can choose to build only setup1 and then it should build
the .msi for your correctly.

Hope it helps.
