I just started following the the MSDN advice (Walkthrough: Deployingh an ASP.NET Web Application Using XCOPY) to deploy my first ASP.NET app, and got stuck at the first step: my PC does not have IIS Manager installed, and company policy will prevent me from installing it myself.
The Visual Studio 2010 Package/Publish Settings page (under Project) looks promising, but I think I still have to create a site externally before I can go any further. Is this true?
(I have been given access to a web server, but its root URL shows the "Under Construction" page, and I don't know what to do with it.)
Do I have to get IIS Manager before I can go any further, or can I somehow create the site from within VS 10 ?
