How does #Include virtual work?

I copy an application to wwwroot:

wwwroot
+--- myApp
+--- common
|
+--- images
|
default.asp
global.asa

I create a virtual directory to point to it. To do that I open
IIS plugin, Navigate to "Default Web Site", right context menu,
New, Virtual Directory, Next, Alias = "myApp", Next, Directory =
"C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\myApp", Next, Next, Finish.

At the top of default.asp is the line:



But I get an error.

Active Server Pages, ASP 0126 (0x80004005)
The include file '/common/setupadrot.asp' was not found.
/myApp/Default.asp, line 6

What is the correct way to use #Include virtual with a web
directory set up like this? Where does the app think the root
is and how can I find out where it thinks the application's
web-root is located.

None of these work.






This will work OK:


but the problem is I don't want to include the name of the root,
"myApp", because this may change at some time in the future.

Will I have to use

during development and change it to:

when I deploy it?

Naturally I need to have several distinct web applications in
wwwroot. Using #Include file is out of the question.

why dont you just make a virtual directory that is common then you can point
it wherever you want and wont have to recode?

If common is inside myApp, then the first way is the only way to do it.

Just put common under the root of your website instead of inside your app folder.
