Deployment variables

[MarkMurphy]

When deploying a web project how would I parameterize the following
registry value entry?

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\Eventlog\Application\MyApp]
"EventMessageFile"="C:\\WINDOWS\\Microsoft.NET\\Fr amework\\v1.1.4322\\EventLogMessages.dll"

I need a variable like %CURDOTNETDIR%. I don't want to hardcode the
windows driectory and .NET version.

Thanks,

Mark

Hi Mark,

From your description, you're building an asp.net web application set up
project and is wondering how to get the .net framework's installation
directory on the target machine, yes?

As for the framework's installation folder, I tthink we can make use of the
System.Web.HttpRuntime.ClrInstallDirectory property which may return the
CLR install folder. Hope this will help. Thanks.

Hey there Steve,

Thanks for the info and for checking back. I ended up grabbing the
value for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\Eventlog\Application\CustomAppLog\EventMessageF ile
and setting same for my application. Hopefully I can assume the CLR
version contained in that string will change as appropriate.
