Deploying ASP.NET under a site

[Sachin]

Hi All,

I want to deploy as ASP.NET application using msi.

However, instead of deplyoing it under a virtual directory, I want to deploy
it under a site (Create a new site)

Can I do this using deplyoment project and how?

Thanks In advance
Sachin

You can but you manually have to create the site an its a real pain.

You would use a setup project (not a web deployment project) and add an
installer class that on install creates the website on the IIS after
checking its not already there etc. I don't know anyone who has done this as
IMO its a fairly painful task.
