Hello,

I am in the process of building and deploying my BizTalk
project.

I would like to know what's the difference between "Deploy
Solution" that exists at the solution level vs. "Deploy"
which exists at the BTS project level.

Which one should I use for my final deployment? I have to
eventually build an MSI package and move this to the Prod
server from the Dev server.

Pl. help soon

Deploy at the solution level deploys all projects that might be in the solut
ion.
Deploy at the project level only deploys this project.

For the production deployment, you have numerous options:

1) Use the btsdeploy.exe command line tool or wizard.
2) Use "Deploy Solution" from Visual studio
3) Build an MSI: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/e....asp?frame=true

All options require you to be able to put assemblies in the GAC, so unless y
ou want to setup
Visual studio on the production server(s), 2) is probably not good.

Thanks.
