(sorry to post this here but couldnt find a .NET Deployment NG)
I have created a Deployment Project (for a Web Application), added files,
built it successfully and then go to install it but get a message I dont
understand.
I click on the Setup.exe - it starts, then displays:
"The folder path"." contains an invalid character"
I click OK and the Setup.exe terminates. Any ideas on what causes this ?

Hi Pete,
In what OS did you created it? in which are you installing on?
also check that the path is valid, that does not contain any invalid char.
Cheers,

Sounds like you need an absolute address rather than a current directory.
In your installer you might specify where it should be installed.

FWIW: I upgraded to the Visual Studio 2003 (and rebuilt my deployment
project) - it now works

Turns out, theres an interesting bug in Windows Installer that causes this.
We are actually investigating it right now, but I'm glad you were able to
work around it.
