DotNetNuke 4.x does NOT support the Publish Website menu option in VS2005 or VWD, as it does not support the "Precompiled option" available in .NET 2.  This is because of the way we do Localization.

The best way - in this scenario is to XCopy the files to the remote server - (making sure that web.config is updated with the correct connectionString for the remote site.

I hope this helps.

Yes, I understand the XCOPY issue.  I do not have problems in installing DNN.  My problem is in installing MY module without source.

The problem comes (it seems) when we add a user control into our module.  With source our module works, without source it does not!

I followed Washington's document step by step - in fact that is the one i used.  When I created a simple module (like the one Washington creates as a sample it works) BUT when I add a user control then Washington's step by step does not work!!

Michael's tutorial site: "You want to create a DotNetNuke module and you want to distribute it but you don't want to give away your source code?"

This tutorial has information to deploy your module without source: http://dotnetnuke.adefwebserver.com/DotNetNuke/tabid/195/Default.aspx.
