I am creating Excel 2010 workbook project in C#(.NET 4.0 frmw) using VS2010. This Excel workbook is my work interface. It contains a few buttons through which i call some user controls and forms, or they do some other functional tasks, … . Also, this workbook uses data from MySQL database. Communication with this database is currently well while database is on localhost.
My question is, and I need your opinion on, what is(or will be) the best way to deploy this application so that it runs on users machines and with database on server machine?
Thank you!!!
Deployed Using Windows Installer. Here is an example:

Worked for me, normally, with few modification on my own.
