How to deploy project from commandline

Question

I wonder if its possible to perform the project's context menu "deploy" action from the command line?

Answer 1

There is an MakeAppx.exe tool: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/hh446767%28v=vs.85%29.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396

The SO thread does not answer my and the OP's question at all. People completely misunderstood the question.

The makeappx tool can operate on VS projects file build output folder?

>>The makeappx tool can operate on VS projects file build output folder?

If you just want to build the application and create an package you could use MSBuild:

Create an app package at the command prompt: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh924768.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396

Magnus, thanks for trying to help. But I do not want to build packages. I already know how to do that. I want to deploy the package on a remote computer like I can within VS.

Hi pkursawe,

/Deploy should help you.
