VS2003 web deployment question

Hi,

I have developed a ASP.NET app and made a web deployment project. I wish to
add a custom action to change some of the files. In order to do this I need
to know the location of my installed files. The only thing the user may
change is the virtual directory and the port of the site my app is installed
to. I know there's this [TARGETDIR] property which relates to these values,
but I'm not clear whether it's the virtual directory name, or the actual path
to my files. Either way, how do I pass the path of my files to the custom
action?

Thanks in advance

I can partially answer this question...

[TARGETDIR] is the folder in which the web app is placed e.g.
c:\inetpub\wwwr oot\myapp and I can pass it into an installerclass using the
CustomActionDat a property thus:

/targetdir="[TARGETDIR]\"

However, I am at a loss as to how to find out which port the user has
selected (which is in the same dialog as they set the virtual root). Does
anyone have any ideas??

Hi, I have an issues with my web app deployment project. The project actually has an ASP.NET site and a web service site, which are both destined to be virtual directories under a root website (by default the one on port 80). When installed on a machine that has a default document for the root site of xxxindex.html, this gets REPLACED by default.aspx and the application name gets set to my application. I do not want the root site to be...

We have upgraded an ASP.NET solution from VS2003 (.NET 1.1) to VS2005 (.NET 2.0). On rebuilding the solution, no dll appears in the bin folder of the Web site. Is this the usual case for VS2005 solutions? If so, how can a solution be deployed? If not, can anyone suggest what might have happened? Peter
