Configuration :: Create A Web Application Installer?
Mar 10, 2011
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?

I 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'.

We are working in healthcare domain and intergating various medical equipments with the web application.Earlier i was window forms control libray and embedd it into my html page but as it is a .net component so to run it on d client machine i had to set the CAS(code access security ) settings on the client machine and for that 1stly client should have .net framework which comes very windy for the client to download closly 350MB data and then do all the CAS stuff. This time i want to get rid from this method and want to use some other way to do this activity.
The major thing that i have to do i need to excute the 1 exe file on click of Button and then once ECG start recording on the client machine its binary file get store on d static path on client machine and after that i browse this file and save it on my server. Now, simply wanted that i should create one installer which can automatically install .net framwwork and do required CAS settings automatically. second thing is how can i upload the file lying on machine to my server. How can i do that in asp.net 3.5?

I have created an ASP.NET website which accesses a DB. The DB can will be alrady installed at target machine. It can be anything from SQL server 2000 to SQL server 2008. Further more the target OS can be anything from Windows server 2000 to Windows 7. I have kept the target .Net framework version as .Net 2.0 to keep matters simple. Also, the target machine can be x86 or x64 or Itanium. Do I need to create separate builds for different target platforms? How do I create an Installer which will : Put this website on a Virtual Directory of IIS server(can be any IIS version) Detect the target platform and install the appropriate build. I need to do this either using the standard MSI installer of VS2008 or using WiX or any open source installer for that matter.

I need to implement a web site installer for my asp.net application. The installer will be handling following features - Deploy the .net web application on to the IIS server Setting up the Sql database connection to run the DB scripts. Execute all the DB scripts. Run another exe for the license management. If some thing goes wrong, need to rollback everything. I have heard about wix and install shield and wondering what would be the best technology suitable for this particular case.

I want to know if I can create another application inside my main one that will be independent in terms of it's web.config file
I'm working on 3.5 framework and right now I can't seem to access the inside application because what looks like a conflict between the two web.config files (the main one in the root directory and the one in the sub-folder that I want to operate as an independent app)

I have a web site running on IIS7 on a remote server. I would like to do the following: Create a new subfolder under the root virtual directory. Create a new app pool. Add this new app pool to the new subfolder Normally, I would do this manually in IIS by first creating the app pool, and then right-clicking the sub folder an choose "add application", but I need to do this programmatically in C#. I've managed to make the above points 1 and 2 work, but I can't find the way to adding the application to the sub folder. This is the code I have used so far for 1 and 2:
[Code]....
So, I need to add "MyAppPool" to the "NytSite" folder. Is this even the correct way to do this?

We are going develop a web application using asp.net. This applicaton is going to server 50 users per day and 40 users concurrently. As the user count is less, we are planning to have two webservers clustered under a webfarm. We are planning to go for a Sticky Session. Netscaler is the load balancing and reverse proxy we are using at hardware level to route to the same webserver till the end of the client session.
1. Do I need to implement any handler at asp.net level to route the session or to provide browser cookie details of session to NetScaler? If so, what should be implemented in detail. Any sample code will also be helpful.
2. I need to maintain a big chunk of object information in session. Does a webserver can handle it?
3. At the hardware level how ReverseProxy works to navigate it to the same webserver? I want conceptual details of it from a web application end.

Apologies if this seems obvious, but after a week searching I can't find a clear answer to my problem.
I have developed an application in Visual Web Developer 2010 Express that uses the asp.net application services membership provider. It works well in development on my machine (data in the ASPNETDB.MDF database).
I packaged my application and deployed the relevant files with FTP to my shared hosting provider.
I took a copy of the ASPNETDB.MDF and restored it to the SQL Server 2008 on my shared hosting. I can connect to this through the Database Explorer in Visual Web Developer, but it doesn't contain any schema or data.
I know once I have the database in production I will have to make sure the connection string in web.config is poiting to it, but I don't know how to get the DB to production in the first place.

We have lot of application parameters for each module in a C# .NET 4 ASP website. parameter examples: timeouts, formulae constants, thread limits per module, $ charges per usage etc. What is best out of following approaches we know: Use DB config table Use an xml. load that xml into local cache on start (and on xml change) simple constants.cs file with public const int XYZ = 123; type of key-value pairs. web.config (though i think its mostly for deployment type of config)
