don't want to install to virtual directory

[DC Gringo]

I'm trying to create an installer that will deploy my web application onto
a webserver http://www.myserver.com. Instead, it's forcing me to install
into a virtual directory of the localhost webserver. What can I do?

Hi DC,

Normaly you should be able to install it on every virtual directory from a
IIS and ASP.Net webserver.
(When all security settings are right).

Cor,

When they say "virtual directory" the implication seems to mean
http://localhost/AppDirectory. They ask for the /AppDirectory portion (or
it is pre-populated via the deployment project settings Web Application
Folder: Virtual Directory).

What do I put in there if I want to set up on http://www.myserver.com?

Hi DC,

Wouldnt the installer need to be run on the computer hosting
www.,myserver.com for this to work?

 

[DC Gringo]

Yes, and that's what I've been doing. But my problem is that using Visual
Studio.NET 2003 installation creation tools, I'm only being given the option
to specify a virtual directory such as <localhost>/MyApp and not
www.MyWebserver.com

Web setups created by Visual Studio 2000 and 2003 only have the ability to install to the default website. Please call PSS (1-800-936-5800) for a patch that fixes this problem.

Hope this helps,
Elizabeth
