Hello all,

I have a QA server that host about 5 web sites. In order for our QA
department to test the setup application they have to be able to run it on
this machine, because this machine has the 5 web sites this is not possible.

When my QA departments test the install, the install places the application
folder on a web site randomly. This is a problem. Looking at the custom
UI, you're really not given an option to determine which web site to install
it on.

Has anyone found a fix for this?

I would dearly love to see a definitive answer to this post. I've
searched high and low, and nothing so far. Check this post for a hint.
I'm still looking for a solution with no COM dependencies.

Unfortunately, the only way to do this right now is by modifying the Port of each virtual directory (from the target web
folder or web custom folder) that is created in the setup, and then host your websites on different ports. It should
work, but is unfortunately rarely a satisfactory answer for a live site.

The only other thing I can recommend is to examine the needs of what you are distributing, and determining if
xcopy with an IIS setup script is an alternative to using a web setup.
