Deploying ASP.Net not in the default website

I want to deploy an asp.net application but I want the installer to be able
to specify the website that it goes into at install time. The current
installer always installs to the default website.

I have heard that there is a fix for this available, can anyone point me
towards it.
 
AFAIK, the installer will only install to a different website if the
website uses a different port. If you have multiple websites on a
single port and IIS differentiates them by, say host headers, than the
setup project always picks the first active site it finds.

I think you can read between the lines for some workarounds in the
above, but none of them are really optimal solutions..
 
If I understand correctly you want to install to a virtual directory. If
that's the case then use the Virtual Directory property of the Web
Application Folder in the File System Folder.

Click to expand...

But what if he wants to install to a different web site? A single server may
host multiple sites?

Hi,
We have the same problem (we need to be prompted for the virtual web site,
not just the directory for the application install). I posted the question in
the microsoft USENET newsgroup a week ago, but got no answers.
According to the following thread, there is a patch available from PSS
(Elizabeth Newman from Microsoft). I am just wondering if the
patch is now available online, or it still takes a phone call...
Can anyone from Microsoft shed a light?
Thanks.
