What’s the recommended way to deploy a website created with ASP.NET 4.0 and Visual Studio 2010?

I’ve previously always added a web setup project to my solution, and used that to create an MSI, even for small applications.

But when I build a web setup project in VS2010 it kind of works but some stuff still seems broken:
1. I need to turn on IIS 6 Compatibility on a Win 2008 R2 box to get the msi to run.
2. The msi includes web.config, web.debug.config, and web.release.config. I thought VS’s web.config transformations was supposed to take care of that.

    I suggest looking at using MSDeploy, which packages up all your files and configuration settings into a zip file that can then be imported into IIS 7.

    Scott Hanselman had a great presentation that shows how to use MSDeploy.
