View 11 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.

View 1 RepliesMy web application functions as expected when using non-compiled web pages.

View 2 Repliesis it possible to create a Setup project within Visual Studio that will allow the generated installer to allow for the user to install the application multiple times? I would imagine there would be changes needed for checking if the destination folder already has an installation there but what about removing the "already exist" detection or how to change the Add/Remove Programs to show nothing at all or each individual instance of the installation.

View 3 RepliesHave been searching for a while but am having no luck fixing this. I am running VS 2010 on a Win XP machine. My agency's developer converted our web app with no problem, and i can open it and compile the code in VS 2010. I am trying to run my wdproj to build the site to a local directory, and it will not. I get an output error:
Error 2

According to this website, I can go to Visual Studio 2005 Web Deployment Projects, and download the add-in, but I am not finding what I need. I have searched other sites for the add-in as well, but with no luck. where I can download the add-in?
If not, can someone provide documentation on how to properly deploy an ASP Web application? I have tried on my own, but I am apparently doing something incorrectly or incompletely, as I have several different problems with my current deployment. So I am looking to start over with the help of this add-in or by following more detailed documentation.
Is there a difference between the Web Setup Project in VS2008 and the Web Deployment Project that I keep reading about on this site? More importantly, how much of a help is the deployment project over just using the setup project?
View 1 RepliesI need to know how to add a post build event to a Web Deployment Project.
How can it be done?
I just upgraded from VS2008 to VS2010, and now my web deployment project keeps rebuilding constantly. Even if I have a WinForms application set as the startup project and hit Ctrl+F5 to run it, the web deployment project rebuilds every time I hit Ctrl+F5. It didn't do this in VS2008. Does anyone know what's causing this?
View 1 RepliesI want to know if there is a way to set up the default document or default web page from the setup project of a web page.What I mean is that I would like my web app installer to set the default page (i.e: DefaultPage.aspx) when installing the web application. I remember I could do this in previous versions of the asp.net platform, currently I am working in ASP.NET 3.5 (Visual Studio 2008).
View 2 RepliesI have an ASP .NET web project; let's call it XYZZY. On my development machine I test and debug it using IIS. Under the IIS virtual directory for XYZZY, I have several "sub" virtual directories which I reference for downloading documents. Let's call them Doc1, Doc2, Doc3. These virtual directories reference a shared folder on another machine. Everything works great on the development machine.
Now I would like to publish the XYZZY web application to the production machine using One-click deploy. I have told it to include all IIS settings as configured in IIS manager. When I deploy XYZZY to the production machine, it properly creates the XYZZY application directory under c:inetpubwwwrootXYZZY and copies all files there and creates the XYZZY application in IIS. However, when it creates the sub virtual directories Doc1, Doc2, Doc3 under XYZZY in IIS, it doesn't use the shared folder I have them
set up as on the development machine, it points all 3 of them to c:inetpubwwwrootXYZZY.
I've examined the metaproperties in the archive.xml from the zipped deployment package, and it correctly has the IIsWebVirtualDir virtual directory folder Path settings correct from the dev machine, but for some reason they are overridden when the app is deployed.
I have found the instructions on customizing the deployment settings complicated and confusing. Surely this requirement for creating IIS virtual directories during web package deployment must be common. Can anyone explain clearly how to get the deployment package to create the IIS virtual directories with the proper targets on the target machine? Ideally, it would be nice to be able to set them to different values based on the configuration just as Web.config can be customized, but that's not a requirement just yet.
Can I change algorithm of serial key template of web set up project ? If I am not able to change algorithm, what could be the best method to implement product key(serial number) concept in web setup project.
View 1 RepliesI have a large folder (1.5 GB) in my ASP.NET Web Site, called Downloads, which contains media files, graphics, etc. No code that needs to be compiled or even deployed on every build.
I use Web Deployment Projects to compile and deploy. Every time I build the deployment project, the Downloads folder gets included and copied to the output location. This is taking a significant amount of time, because the folder is copied twice.
I've tried modifying the wdproj file like this:
<ItemGroup><ExcludeFromBuild
Include="$(SourceWebPhysicalPath)Download*"
/>
I've also tried not adding the * after the folder, but then I get a message that says the directory is not empty during the build process.
I've also tried this approach:
<ItemGroup>
<RemoveBeforeMerge Include="$(OutputPath)Downloads*" />
</ItemGroup>
And that still did not help. (also says: The directory is not empty.)What is the proper way to tell WDP not to consider a folder at all?

View 1 RepliesComing from Java programming, I'm used to the general Main<->Test Maven-setup for a project. Whenever there's a new build, all tests will be run by Maven/Junit and I get feedback about them.
I've been looking around and I can't find an analogue way for ASP.NET and Nunit. Am I forced to put my UnitTest-classes in the APP_Code folder?
What's the general way to do this? Are there any recommendations for continuous integration?
Can I create an incremental deployment package using either Visual Studio 2010 Web Deployment Projects or Web Deploy (Web Deployment Tool) .
I need to automatically select changed files from a source and destination or a change set on TFS and build a deployment package only with the changed files.
I am working on VS 2008 and 3.5 framework. I had three windows services. I placed all three in a single solution, created installer individually for each of them. Then created a setup project. When I build it says build failed . But I checked on the errorlist, (i enabled the diagnostics in options menu), but there was no error at all. I went ahead and installed. There were no issues, But there was no service showed up in the services.msc.
I installed each service individually , using installutil command, it showed up. But my requirement is to bundle these services and deploy to the client. The client should install it.
