Custom ArcMap tool deployment using Visual Studio 2008 Express

[RuchiraWelikala]

The title pretty much says it all.  I made a bunch of tools that are used within ArcGIS 9.3.1. using Visual Studio 2008 Express.  I've been able to make deployment packages using VS2008 Professional, but I was wondering if there was away to build them using the Express edition.

Thanks in advance,

You would not be able to create a setup package using Express edition, as it does not have that functionality.

You have two ways going forward:

• Manually add the tool by using 'Add from file...' and pointing to the TLB


• Use a third party setup creation tool, like Wise or some free ones available

Cheers!

Ah, I was afraid of that.  Thanks for your response!
