Hello Everyone,

My web site solution contains MSI web setup project that was configured to prompt user for database server name and database name and then overwrite default settings in web.config with user-entered values. In VS 2005, the Primary Output item which is referenced by the custom action is no longer available since no single web site assembly is produced. How can I fix this, or is there a new way to configure web.config file during installation?

Thank you,

Roman

Hi Roman,

Are you using the new VS 2005 Web Deployment Project support?  It provides the ability to generate a single assembly as part of deployment, and the output can be piped into a Web Setup project. 

Here is a blog post I did that talks about how to use it, and also shows using it with web setup projects: http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2005/11/06/429723.aspx

Hope this helps,

Scott
