I am working with Visual Studio setup projects to install web application. I am looking for a way to change the default physical file installation path. The end result I would like is a Virtual Directory called "MySite" that points to a local path on the server like "C:\Apps\MySite"
Is there a built-in option to customize this?
No, it will install at the physical file installation path of the Web Site where it is installed plus the name of the virtual directory.
This is really a frustrating limitation of the setup project. If we want the physical location to be different from c:\inetpub\wwwroot, we have to install it at the requried physical location and then manually create a virtual directory in iis to point to that location. How dumb !
