websetup in .net

Question

Hi,

I created a websetup project in .net. When I use the installer, by default the installer installs the web application in c:\inetpub\wwwroot. But I like to configure the location during the installation. How can I do that?

Thanks, P.Gopalakrishnan.

Hi,

Have yo tried to set the "AllowDirectoryBrowsing" property of your web application folder to "True" ?

I hope it helps...

There's no way to do that using the standard Visual Studio built Web Installer. I'd recommend taking a look at WiX, as that gives you a lot of control, or failing that something like NSIS.
