Virtual Directory not created during installation of ASP .NET 2.0 website

Hi all
I created a web site project using Visual Studio 2005 and then created
the Deployment Project to deploy it. I set the virtual directory
property on the web application folder to "testsite". However when
installing I get the following error:

The Specified path '/LM/W3SVC/1/ROOT/testsite' is unavailable. The
internet information server might not be running or the path exists
and is redirected to another machine. Please check the status of this
virtual directory in the internet services manager.

Now If I create this virtual directory first, manually, then run the
install, it works fine. Why is the installer not creating it for me?

Any help appreciated,
Andrew

In general terms you would rather want to use the "Deploy Website"
feature of VS2005 than the Deployment Project...
Right click your website and choose "Deploy Website..."

This would require some manual after work, but I still haven't seen
ONE valid reason to use an "Install WebSite" project...!!

Hi Thomas
thanks for the response. Right clicking my website, I *cannot* see the
"Deploy Website" option! I only see the following:

Build
Rebuild
Clean
Publish
Convert to Web Application
Check Accessibility
Project Dependenceis
Project Build Order
Add
Add Reference
Add Web Reference
View Class Diagram
Set as Startup Project
Debug
Add Solution to Source Code Control
Cut
Remove
Rename
Unload Project
Properties

Why is that option not there?
Thanks
Andrew

Hello! I've made a WebService which has the name MyWebService. Now I make a setup project for it. The name of the setup project is MyWebServiceInstaller. The default name for the virtual directory created by the setup program is MyWebServiceInstaller but I would like it to be MyWebService. Is there a way to have the setup to install MyWebService having the virtual directory MyWebService instead of MyWebServiceInstaller?

I have a problem and I've been using a cheezy work around and was wondering if anyone else out there has a better solution. The problem: Let's say I have a web application appA. Locally, I set it up as C:\domains\appA. Locally, my IIS root points to C:\domains. I don't point it to C:\domains\appA since if I have an appB under C:\domains I wouldn't be able to get to it. So to access it via my browser I go to localhost/appA.

I have a site www.stf.com and a site www.stfstage.com (where I do all my testing). The problem is that www.stfstage.com is only internal and I need to get access from the outside (without creating a new domain). I tried to create a Virtual directory inside my stf site so that I would access it like: www.stf.com/stage/. I run as www.stfstage.com fine and have for a long time.
