  How to change TARGETDIR in Web Setup project

  Jul 09, 2012 05:23 AM|LINK

  I have created a web setup project and i need to create an installer for a website which installs the files outside of Default website location (C:\inetpub\wwwroot\WebSite).

  I understood that this can be done by adding custom action to the msi. Can someone please give me code snippets of how to change the TARGETDIR in setup project?

  I am using VS 2010.

  Thanks,

  Venu

  Thanks Mudasir,

  I am asking about changing the TARGETDIR in web setup project.

  Below is ScottGu article about creating ASP.NET setup projects.

  http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2007/06/15/tip-trick-creating-packaged-asp-net-setup-programs-with-vs-2005.aspx

  Scott in this article explained how to change the connection string in web setup project. The same way I want to change directory where the files will be installed. I know TARGETDIR will hold the directory (by default it is C:\inetpub\wwwroot\... ), but how to update that? I tried various things and non did worked. I want to know a working example for this.

  Thanks
