I have a web application project built in VS 2005. Now i have to install this application in some other few machines and for that i want to create a installer. I created the same using the web setup project and that generated .msi file as a installer. I tried to use this .msi installer to install the application in other machines which successfullt creates the virtual direcotory in IIS. But i am not able to view any web page when trying to browse through my http:\\localhost\myapp\webpage.aspx. IS there any step i am missing here? Can anyone please guide me in the right direction or refer some good step by step tutorial?? I have been trying this for last one day and no luck yet. Any help will be highly appreciated.

Hi,

Please make sure that the ASP.NET project's contents are copied to the virtual directory on the IIS. If you browse the page from IIS (Right click page -> select Browse), did it work?

You also need to verify if the project is configured correctly, such as ASP.NET version etc.

For more information about creating Web setup example, see  http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2007/06/15/tip-trick-creating-packaged-asp-net-setup-programs-with-vs-2005.aspx.

 

I hope this helps.
