How to deploy MVC web app on IIS Express?

Question

I have developed an MVC 4 web app on one machine. Debugging works fine on this machine in VS 2012 (which I believe it deploys it locally to IIS Express).

I would like to deploy/publish it to another machine with IIS Express 7.5. Currently, I am copying the whole project folder to the target machine and configure applicationhost.config manually to have it run the web app.

Is this a proper way to deploy the web app? Do I actually need to copy the whole project folder?

Thanks in advance!

If in Visual Studio, right click on the project, then Publish. — Ofiris

There are several ways to publish the application to a IIS web server.

In Visual Studio, right click on the project, then click Publish.
