Is it possible to put other installers infront of an installer in the same project ?for example im installing a media streamer(exe) it uses VLC i need to install VLC with it VLC is its own exe.can this be done in a setup project and how ?
View 1 RepliesCan i get the following into one installer ?
I have to install 3 web apps. can this be done in one installer ? or can i have a bunck of linked installers ? is that possible ?
UDL files - they are saved as text ? so i can i edit them with a custom dialogbox ?
I need to search database add database.
update table,row
after the 3 web apps are installed.
i also have to install VLC for my steaming sofrware to work. can i make the one installer stop and install this at some point ?
is there any way to link installers ?
whats the difference in the different types of installers ?
I have an installer class which I use to do some processing on the application after it is initially installed.
In the installer I have a custom dialog which requests a username and password. This is accessed in my installer class with Me.Context.Parameters("username")
After setting it as CustomActionData /username="[TXTUSERNAME]"
This is all fine. The first dialog of a Web Setup Project gets the user to select an IIS website from a dropdownlist and set a VirtualDirectory if required. I need to get the seleted Hostname but so far I have failed to find a reference to it in any documentation. I have tried things like:
Me.Context.Parameters("targetURL")
Me.Context.Parameters("TARGETSITE")
The last phase of the installer fails with this message:Installation IncompleteThe installer was interrupted before [project] could be installed. You need to restart the installer to try again.
Running msiexec /i installer.msi /l*vx setup.log shows the following entries in the setup log:
INFO : [...] [ApplyWebFolderProperties]: Getting web folder property token...
INFO : [...] [ApplyWebFolderProperties]: Token is '/LM/W3SVC/1/ROOT/ProjectDir/DynamicData/Filters'.

My company has built a web application using ASP.NET MVC and SQL Server 2008 which also requires some other custom windows components that we built to be installed. What we would like to do is create an installer package that will automate as much as possible to make deployment easier at customer sites. Some of the tasks we are looking to do is: install .net 4, IIS, sql server, setup IIS, deploy web application, configure web.conifg, deploydatabse, and install custom windows services. We are using VS 2010 and the installer has to work on IIS 6 and up. Having never done something like this before, does anyone have any insight and/or where could I look to start finding answers on how to go about this process?
View 2 RepliesI am trying to learn how to deploy a web application with .msi installer. I followed the tutorial at this site http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2007/06/15/tip-trick-creating-packaged-asp-net-setup-programs-with-vs-2005.aspx and created a .msi file.However, after I installed the application and tried to open the default.aspx file, I got this error:A name was started with an invalid character. Error processing resource 'http://localhost/TestMsi/default.aspx'.

A collegue of mine just spent 2 days trying to get ASP.NET MVC 1 installed on his computer. MVC 2 installed fine today, but 1 would still not comply. The issue was that he was running as a domain user (with both local admin privileges as well as Domain Admin privileges) but UAC was killing the installer because ASPNetMVC1.msi tries to run another MSI that silently fails if UAC is enabled. The fix was to disable UAC, reboot, and the install completed successfully and he was able to open MVC 1 projects again. I'm not sure if this is an MVC installer bug or a Windows 7 bug, but in either case a prompt should have been displayed informing the user of the error, or at the very least logging something to the log file (which we spent about an hour and a half analyzing for errors).
View 1 RepliesI have created 2 projects in a solution. One project contains Asp.net classes with login page and different other pages.
Another project contains a web service.
When I launch the solution(click F6 in visual studio 2008) the login page can access to the method of the webservice. Both projects are launched.
However when i added this 2 projects into IIS and deploy them (with create command) the login page cannot contact the method of the web service. Even though the web service is running because i can acces it manually. But they cannot communicate each other.
Can anyone guide me to a website where I can see the list of all the keywords available in a windows installer like [TargetDir] and [ProductVersion].
Can anyone also show me a very detailed tutorial of customizing the windows installer?
I am really new her and to asp.net
In fact this is my first asp.net project and I really enjoyed it soo much
When I run the project, it worked form on my machine but when deployed on a remote server, it gives me error and I dont know what the problem is?
I have tried a number of things to no avail
The project is located at http://soft.turingz.com
It uses mysql and my host said they have the .net connector installed but yet .
We have an Intranet site so each developer has our own development site on our computers. We were using XP and IIS6 but are trying to move to new computers running Windows 7 and IIS7.5. Our website starts with classic ASP in the root and has 2 virtual directories turned into applications with .NET code. One is projectless .NET and it works perfectly. The other is a .NET project and we cannot get that running on Windows 7. It compiles fine with Visual Studio 2008 but when trying to access the files through the browser it just runs and eventually times out.
I have tried various things:
- both Integrated and Classic pools for this problem application and the entire website
- even installed framework 1.1 just in case
- various IIS settings including installing all IIS6 Management Compatibility items
I am guessing perhaps something has to change in web.config or some other file, but not sure what. We are running the 32 bit Windows 7 Enterprise.
There is a solution that whithin it I have a web project.
Now, I wish to add a new web project which has it's own App_Data,App_Themes.App_Code.
I don't wont to mess things and combine them both in the same project. I just won't to compile the new project and upload it sepretly to the web server in a different directory.
How do I do that with VS2008?
I am new in ASP.net. I published my web project using the steps stated in below address
[URL]
Now i am able to browse my project using the below url
http://COMPUTER_NAME/PROJECT_NAME/Default.aspx
and
http://IP_ADDRESS/PROJECT_NAME/Default.aspx
but form other computers in the LAN i can't access it.
In one asp.net project, I created a setup project. It is working fine. Is it possible to add SQL scripts(to create database and store procedures) into setup project and run scripts automatically once client user installs the application?

View 4 RepliesAnyway, I need to pick up on another person's project who has left and essentially what I have is his code base which compiles under Visual Studio2010 Ultimate. I need to dig into his code (VisualBasic) in order to fix some minor problem & make some enhancements. So anyway, I started it up and compiled everything. Then I press the little green arrow button, and the project starts up and launch the browser which then access and run this project. However I need to run this under IIS because I have to try access the webservice from a remote platform. Meaning this has to serve a remote connection and not just the browser from within VisualStudio. Could someone give me a little howto in order to set this up and running under IIS?

View 1 RepliesI need to deploy 3 projects using one single installer. The first project is a web project the second and third project are windows services.I need to use the .Net Deployment project to deploy all the project is a single installer. I have managed to create a installer and a custom action which gets the primary output of the both windows service but I am having problems installing the Web application.
If I create an output for the web application it gets installed in the application's folder and not on IIS folder and its not set as an application.
I built the solution once in release mode and it created all the necessary files in the release folder. I then deleted all the contents of the release folder. Now when I buid it for the second time, the release folder is empty. The dll is in the debug folder.
