    Creating msi deployment in Visual Studio 2008 for Umbraco

    Not sure if this is the right place to ask but I thought I would just in case anyone knows the answer. I a have Visual Studio project that contains some usercontrols and DLL's for Umbraco. Usually when deploying a web project (not umbraco) I have visual studio set to create an MSI file which I can install on my web server to get things up and running. I want to do a similar thing with umbraco rather than manually copying the files each time I want to deploy it.

    The issue is that with Umbraco I only need to copy over the DLL's and the Usercontrols to the usercontrols folder. The problem I have is that the usercontrols are in different folders in my project and also I do not want to install all the other folders.

    Does anyone know a way to grab just the usercontrols from my Visual Studio project and put them all in the usercontrols folder in my MSI package? This way whenever I make any updates to my project or usercontrols I can just build the MSI project, install it on the web server and it will copy in the new usercontrols to the usercontrols folder and the new DLL's to the bin folder.
