I'm creating a Web Setup project which creates a virtual direrctory in IIS. in IIS 5.1 and IIS 6 it works fine,. When I tried to install to IIS7 (Win 2008), it creates an application with a virtual directory inside that application with exactly same name & contents.
How to prevent this happen? Thanks.
Here I attach the screenshots: Left: Content of web application Right: Content of virtual directory
See that both web app & virtual dir have exactly same name & contents, and they both refer to the same physical directory.
This will be resolved in the next release of InstallShield. With IS 2009, you may try using the legacy IIS support by adding the property IISPREFERLEGACYOBJECTS to your project and setting its value to 1. Note that this will then require the IIS metabase compatibility option to be installed on IIS 7 machines.

Can I have the steps how can I achieve this? Thanks. 😉
I am also facing the same problem. I have Installshield 2009 and the web application deploys in the same manner as mentioned in the screen shot. Do you have any updates on this issue?
