# VS_SOLUTION_DEPLOY

Added in version 3.18.

Specify that the target should be marked for deployment when not targeting Windows CE, Windows Phone or a Windows Store application.

If the target platform doesn't support deployment, this property won't have any effect.

`Generator expressions` are supported.

Added in version 4.4: Targets created by `add_custom_target()` now honor this property.

## Examples

Always deploy target `foo`:

    add_executable(foo SHARED foo.cpp)
    set_property(TARGET foo PROPERTY VS_SOLUTION_DEPLOY ON)

Deploy target `foo` for all configurations except `Release`:

    add_executable(foo SHARED foo.cpp)
    set_property(TARGET foo PROPERTY VS_SOLUTION_DEPLOY "$<NOT:$<CONFIG:Release>>")
