Complex Release Vehicle Management

I’m looking into improving our build and release system. We are a .Net/Windows shop, and I don’t see any really good tools for Windows for generating the files that are to be dropped in patch or hotfix. We are currently using TFSBuild 2010 with Windows Workflows for our continuous integration builds as well as our daily full build which includes an Installshield package for deployment.

Is it ‘safe’ to expect myClasses to agree not to only call package Scope methods from other Package scope methods?

The questions says it all, but a quick overview of the situation. I’m creating a Model which contains classes (all inherriting myObject) which have a large amount of interconnection. I want the controller to be able to create any of these objects any time, without modifying the Model. Only an explicit cal to the model to “AddToModel” would ‘install’ the object into the model (including updating all the connected objects). myObjects will use a factory pattern, if a user tries to create something already represented in the Model the already-instanced object in the model will be returned instead of constructing a new one.
