How to get the Virtual Directory's physical path...

11
Hi,

I hv create an application using C#, Asp.Net (VS 2005) and I add an Installer Class to that application's setup (when deploy that app), so that I can change the version to 2.0,
Now, I need to store all the details about the virtual dir, (where the application is going to be stay in client sys)
I need the physical path or virtual dir, and name (using the Installer Class and the retrived values to be stored in text file, coz i need the physical path of vDir when uninstall the app)

Can anyone help me
thanks in advance

No, Its not possible with the setup project.

But u can use the WebConfigurationManager.OpenMappedWebConfiguration () method to achieve this.

Thank you radcaesar,

But in my issue, I hv create a Custom Installer Class (for getting user input and update my web.config connection string at the time of installation). Its working fine. (the custom installer class crates a file in application's bin folder named CustomInstaller.InstallState when install)

But when I am uninstalling the application, the UnInstaller process wont remove the physical folder in my wwwroot folder, and it wont remove the virtual dir also (Because the file CustomInstaller.InstallState didn't get removed from the bin folder)

Now I need to remove all the physical directory and the virtual dir, when i uninstall the application.

Any Idea pls..
Thank you
