Deployment problem with asp.net application

A

Hi Group,

We have an asp.net application which we deploy to our customers using an
installation kit created with a Web Setup Project (from Setup and Deployment
Projects).
All our installations went fine, until this client.
When they run the setup.exe, the installation follows its regular steps,
except when it comes to the progress bar (showing the installation
accomplished). Normally, it would take around 15 to 25 seconds for the
progress bar to reach to 100%. For them, it takes between 2 to 5 minutes.
But in the end, the install program reports that the installation has
completed successfully.

BUT, there is no folder for the web application created under
c:\Inetpub\wwwroot. We searched the whole computer for the name of our
folder, but found nothing. It seems that, although it "completed
successfully", it did not create the web site. Also, trying to run the app
from IE will give Page Not found.
On the other hand, we also deploy some dll's in the system32. Those were
correctly installed.

More data :
The client has Active directory installed. They say they checked and there
are no restrictions applied to this server.
The user running the install program is a domain administrator. I also asked
them to login as a local administrator, but nothing changed.
We tried to create manually the virtual folder for our app under wwwroot and
this worked, so this would be my next try with them - create the folder,
then copy the files into it...

Does anybody have a clue what could have gone wrong here ? What else can I
try ?
Thank you for any suggestion !

Andrei.
