While creating an installer for a .net web application, we usually follow a practice of adding a web deployment project and then adding the pre-compiled web output to a web setup project. An observation is that the precompiled web output contains project files, version control system files if any and debug symbols as well.

Solution:
Find a way to remove the files from precompiled web output. How: Open the web deployment project file and add following so that ItemGroup section looks like following. This example is considering SVN as a version control system.

<ItemGroup>
    <ExcludeFromBuild Include="$(SourceWebPhysicalPath)\.svn\**\*.*;$(SourceWebPhysicalPath)\**\.svn\**\*.*">
    </ExcludeFromBuild>
    <ExcludeFromBuild Include="$(SourceWebPhysicalPath)\bin\*.pdb">
    </ExcludeFromBuild>
    <ExcludeFromBuild Include="$(SourceWebPhysicalPath)\*.csproj">
    </ExcludeFromBuild>
    <ExcludeFromBuild Include="$(SourceWebPhysicalPath)\*.user">
    </ExcludeFromBuild>
</ItemGroup>
