[RESOLVED] ASP.Net WebService Installer

[Strider]

Hi all,

i have created a setup project for my webservice application. Super!!!!
i create a folder inside the setup called log which i will write a log file to.
i make this folder to allowwriteaccess...Excellent!!!

i install it in windows 2000 machine all works well.

i install it on a win xp machine and xp suddenly like to make my log folder readonly. What the hell. Why is XP doing this. Therefore its making my webservice crash!!!!!!

So i go to the C:\inetpub\wwwroot\<myApp> directory and right click on the log folder. I uncheck the readonly, click apply. Now its fine.

However i hit F5 and refresh the directory and right click again on the log folder and Hey Presto the readonly is checked again... lovely....

anyone else suffer anything like this

cheers

Try giving the ASP.NET worker process full access to the log folder, instead of removing the read-only.

a reinstall of windows and iis etc.. solved the problem

agh it was a long while back... only marking my posts resolved (bored!!!).... ah i think whoever installed windows just updated xp on top of win2000 (generally a bad idea). so i done a complete format and reinstall
