Hi, I am thinking about developing a windows application, which will incorperate a web service (to download a web page and parse it). Is there a way of creating a installer, using Visual studio .NET that installs the web service, and the application at once?
I've searched the net, and the msdn, but there doesn't seem to be anything.
Thanks in advance for any help.

You don't install the webservice. You just use it in your application. A webservice just takes input and returns a result....it's not something you have to install. You will, however, have to create the webservice on the actual webserver you use. But that won't have the client application

You can create install apps in VS.NET just create a new project of "Installation Project" under the "other" or "Miscellaneous categories.
