Hello,

I trying to create a website in IIS by web setup project. But I never get any idea about it. Before I created a virtual directory and and I access a site like "http//localhost/virtualdirectoryname/Login.aspx".

And I want ask a user to select a folder location to install the web application. (No need to create a path under inetpub/wroot/virutaldirectory.)

Kindly give me the solution.

Thank you.

Hello,

I have done this Before

Go through this link http://www.iis.net/ConfigReference/system.applicationHost/sites/site[^]

Also you need to create Custom action which will be triggered on starting installation and that custom action will create Website and will setup other things.

I want to create web site on iis in Web setup project to.
But Web setup project requires that specified TARGETSITE must exists in IIS.
