NOTE: BETWEEN 25 MARCH 09 AND 05 APRIL 09, THE WRONG VERSION OF THE MAIN ZIP FILE WAS UPLOADED (SPDeploymentWizard2.0Beta.zip)! THIS FILE DID NOT CONTAIN ANYTHING USEFUL - SINCERE APOLOGIES TO THE 85 PEOPLE WHO DOWNLOADED IT. MISTAKE NOW CORRECTED - SOURCE CODE ZIP STILL GOOD

This release provides:

• Command-line support
• Support for saving of import/export settings to a file (in the Windows Forms app) for later re-use
• An installer

Command-line support is intended to support scenarios where SharePoint content is deployed in an automated way. Site collections, webs, lists/doc libs, list items/files can be selected for deployment. Example scenarios could be:

• automated builds/Continuous Integration
• deployment scripts
• production content deployment

More complete guidance on usage is provided in my blog post at http://www.sharepointnutsandbolts.com/2009/03/command-line-support-for-content.html

Known issues

- The installer does not currently prevent installation on non-SharePoint machines. The Wizard must be installed directly on SharePoint servers!
