Project deployment to a Multi-Site server

[Dave Wendleton]

We are developing ASP.Net apps. We would like to use the
Deployment project to create MSI files that would be
installed on to the production servers. This will allow us
to have our operations department do installs at night
easily. The problem I have encountered is there seems to
be no way of targeting a specific site on the server. When
I try to install it will always go to the first site in
the list. Each site has a seperate IP and URL associated
with it; however, I can't find a way to choose a site. We
are using VS.Net 2003 and our production box is a windows
2000 server running IIS 5. Any help would be appriciated.

Couldn't you just build the msi package as normal, the
configure the istall based on the global poicy in the
active directory. Configure the servers that you want
into an OU and change the global policy for just that OU.

Product Support Services should have a fix for this problem. I haven't
seen it publically released yet, but a couple of weeks ago it was supposed
to be in the final stages. Contact them, and they should be able to get
you the fix. They can contact me if they have any questions.
