Multiple Release WebSetup

Hello dear ng,

i am using a web setup project to install an asp.net project on a
target machine. No I want to install also a test verstion in another
virtual directory of the same project. That means there will be an
INETPUB/wwwroot/ProjectRelease and a INETPUB/wwwroot/ProjectTest
installation.

I am not a fan of redundance.. so do I have to create two setup
projects or is there a way to use one project?
Because its the same content, only the Virtual Path and the web.config
will be different.

Using the same setup project, it does not different between the two
installations.. . Is there any support for my needs?

Thanks a lot,

Holger

Not really. I already use a custom install project where I can enter all
needed strings. It updates the web.config automatically.

My problem is, that you cannot use the same MSI file for more than one
installation... If you install to Project1 you are not able to install a
Project 2 without get asked for deinstalling Project1...

I hope i could make my point clear.. Sorry for my english :)

I'm creating a WebSetup Deployment Solution using VS.Net 2003 to install my web application. I've created several installer classes to go with it. My problem is, I want the installer classes to run in a certain sequence. I've seperated the steps into individual installer classes so that I can reuse them for similar product installs. Thanks for any help

I'd like to host two or more instances of my webservice on one machine. When I try to install multiple copies my websetup (pretty much the default walk through for a websetup) it doesn't allow the second webservice to be installed. Is this just a limitation of the setup program, or is there something more fundemental at work here? Seems like a simple thing to do, but I haven't found what I'm looking for in the doc ....
