Creating Virtual Directory in website subfolder...
I've searched the forum without luck, tried just about everything to make this work, but so far to no avail . . .
I need to create a virtual directory in a folder inside a website, as opposed to directly under the website . . .
The web site is "Microsoft Dynamics CRM" and instead of creating the virtual directory under this web site, I need to put it in the ISV folder under this web site . . .
This is a Basic MSI project and I'm using the trial version of InstallShield 2009 Pro.
Hope someone can help . . .

We have long since moved up from InstallShield 9, but as I recall, you can nest virtual directories using the InstallShield 9 IDE by simply specifying a path for the VD name, i.e., instead of "MyVirtualDirectory" which would show up under the index 0 (default web site), make the name "MyFolder\MyVirtualDirectory" to nest it under an existing folder called "MyFolder". I don't recall if the slash is forward or back, but I think it was back.

Here is a link to some useful IIS functions. In the code, there is a function that allow you to create virtual directories. You could try modifying the path to create the new direcory.

Hi - it works fine 🙂
That is, it kept putting the VD in the default web site, instead of the "Microsoft Dynamics CRM" web site as intended, but it did put it in the ISV sub folder at least 🙂
Once I changed the web site port number to 5555 it worked fully, though I'm worried about what will happen, if the target computer CRM installation doesn't use 5555 (which is standard), but I figure we'll just document that then they'll have to set it up manually . . .
Anyways, Thanx 🙂
