visual studio .net ide: Hi Nadav,

Thank you posting!

yes, the VS2005's setup project doesn't provide the function to set the
asp.net version of an installing virtual directory. You need to configure
that vdir's setting manually via the IIS manager.(The target vdir's
properties | ASP.NET tab | ASP.NET version).

Another way to configure this setting is to use an IIS Registration tool
that ships with the corresponding .NET Framework--aspnet_regiis. You can
use the "-s" option with the target vdir's path to achieve this. That tool
is located in the your's system's
..\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727 directory. I suggest you
refer to the following MSDN article for the details:

Configuring an ASP.NET Application for an ASP.NET Version
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpguide/htm
l/cpconconfiguringaspnetapplicationforaspnetversion.asp

I am afraid this behavior is also by design, the installation program's
uninstallation procedure will clean the stuff which it installed before,
but it will not remove that virtual directory from the web server. You can
remove that virtual directory manually in the IIS manager or via a script.

Thanks!

Best regards,

Hi everybody,

I'm trying to create a setup for a web application.

After searching on the internet I've found out how to install a precompiled
version of my application (using Web Deployment project).

There are some other things I would have liked to be able to specify for the
setup (for example startup page, extra file extentions...) but I can manage
without them.

There are two problems I've run across with the web setup created by VS2005.
1. when installing the MSI on a computer that has both dotnet 1.1 & 2.0
installed with the root of the web service registered to use dotnet 1.1
scriptmaps the setup will NOT register the created virtual directory to use
dotnet 2.0.
2. when uninstalling the MSI the folder is removed from the file system, but
the virtual directory is NOT remove from IIS.

Hi Gary,

Thanks for your reply,

Is there a way to create a custom action that will execute aspnet_regiis
without writing dotnet code?
(something along the lines of %FRAMEWORKDIR%\aspnet_iregiis -i %TARGETDIR% )
Or do I need to write the code for it myself?

Thanks,

You are welcome, Nadav!

Regarding on this issue, currently the VS2005's setup project cannot
provide the feature you wanted, but I will forward your concern to our
corresponding development team for review. Your feedback and concerns are
of great value to us and will help in creating products that better meet
your needs.

Thanks for your understanding!
