<panel title="Summary">

An automatable deployment system, based on [[IT/AD/Nuget/]] packages.


</panel>


## Notes ##

* Advantages:
    * [[IT/AD/Nuget/]] is a trusted system, now integrated directly into [[IT/AD/Visual Studio/]].
    * Easy to learn for .NET developers.
    * Less costly than organising [[IT/AD/WiX/]] packages.
* Considerations:
    * If it can't be used for deployments to other environments than Windows, the total cost of learning multiple deployment systems is probably higher than using another system, that may be less polished, but can.
* Disadvantages:
    * Being [[IT/AD/Nuget/]], it's currently (Spring 2005) limited to deploying only into the Windows Environment, missing [[IT/AD/Android/]] opportunities.
