Physical path of installed website not resolved
Hi,
I'm trying to install a number of websites, all works well except for one. The physical path is not resolved ( contains the string used in the project).
I managed to work around it but I think it is not the proper way.
I 'm using installscript MSI Project with Install shield 2010 SP1.
Problem:
Create a feature with target directory e.g [INSTALL]WEBDIR and add a component say WebsiteComp
Create an application in the Server Configuration/ IIS section,
set the component field to WebsiteComp.
Set the Content Source path using the browse button. This results in {WEBSITE}[INSTALL]WEBDIR\WEBSITE
When I run this setup on XP, I get a Web app with the physical path set to WEBSITE !!!
Workaround: Change the target directory of the feature to [INSTALL]WEBDIR\WEBSITE and everything seems to work now.
I'm new to InstallShield so I was wondering if there is another way to force the path to be resolved.
kr,
Wei-Chun

Hi Wei-Chun,
On the 'General' tab of the Release you are building, set 'Keep Unused Directories' to Yes. Rebuild the project and test it. This should resolve the issue.
Thanks,
Alpesh

Since you upgraded from IS2009, please try recreating the IIS components in the IIS view. And then build and test the setup.
I hope this helps.
Thanks,
Alpesh
