.NET Forum / Visual Studio.NET / Setup / May 2007Adding TARGETDIR for web project using ORCA is not working
Hi, I created a Web setup project using VS 2003 and edited the output msi file using Orcas to 'Add Physical Location Option for the target directory'. I followed the same steps as mentioned in http://www.codeproject.com/useritems/ChangeVDirWebSetupProject.asp (with minor changes in specifying Control_Next in Control table as my setup was created using VS 2003). When I install using the edited msi file, I can all my files in the proper target directory, as specified during installation, but the virtual directory is never created. This problem is only with the VS 2003 setup, but not with VS 2005. What changes needs to be done for VS 2003 setup files? TARGETDIR isn't used in VS 2003 web projects. The property is TARGETVDIR .

What changes needs to be done for VS 2003 setup files? TARGETDIR is used in VS 2003, because of which only, I wasa able to create my own target directory during installation. But the problem I'm facing is, I was not able to map this target directory to a virtual directory. Is there any other settings, that needs to be done to my msi file using orca? Or is there any other way to achieve the same thing? Are there any help files available on MSI properties? > TARGETDIR isn't used in VS 2003 web projects.

TARGETDIR is not used for the web folder destination. The property name is TARGETVDIR. Web setups are different.
