How do you prefer to install SharePoint packages

Posted at 2008-12-02 12:32 by Wictor Wilén in SharePoint with 2 comments.

With the recent release of ChartPart for SharePoint I created a simple command file to simplify the installation of the .wsp file. What I did not expect was that so many should download it – about the same amount of people who download the ChartPart.

Some really nice people have asked me to release it as an MSI package, which I will do as soon as possible to make it even easier for non developers or IT-pros to install the ChartPart.

Out of curiosity I put up a small poll which I would like to see as many as possible of you readers answered to. It’s a simple question: Which way do you prefer to install SharePoint packages?

My personal preference is to use STSADM – that way I have full control of the deployment.
